Visit East End Books in Provincetown to celebrate the launch of L Scully’s (Nonfiction, January 2023) poetry collection, Self-Romancing. L will be in conversation with Zac Smith and Madison Murray. You can also watch the event through the store’s Facebook page.

In a tonal mash-up of Jenny Holzer’s Truisms, confessional poetry, and fortune telling, Self-Romancing draws you into the amorous and obsessive inner life of an unnamed romantic. Relatable and snarky, heartfelt and horny, L Scully fortifies irony with vulnerability, bringing readers into a narrative as intimate as slumber parties and ordinary as Trader Joe’s. Bursting with the giddy charm of the everyday, Self-Romancing plays with form, turning a book into a crush, a crank call, a manifesto.
