Join us to celebrate the launch of FEVER by Shilo Niziolek. Niziolek will be joined by fellow Portland author Jay Ponteri.

A memoir made up of essay fragments, FEVER, examines what it is to desire throughout all phases and states of life and being. Niziolek mixes plain language with poetic prose to interrogate trauma from domestic violence and illness, sexuality, and the different ways we can and do love despite these things. All of this comes together to create a keen focus on the many ways one can experience desire and its intersection with love.

"FEVER’s painstaking sentences have an inimitable prosody and flavor, and they cast bright heat, warming and curing each other. This fever is one that we’re lucky to have."

-Sarah Manguso, author of Very Cold People
