"Devour Me, Again" gathers the work of Lake, the San Francisco poet, performer and punk musician who died in 2020 at age 70. According to organizers, the anthology explores themes including love, heartbreak, transgender identity, underground nightlife, queer survival, chosen family, desire and downtown decadence.
The launch event will feature readings by Silke Berlinn, August Bernadicou, Perry Brass, Kay Gabriel and Harron Walker.
Bernadicou, executive director and co-founder of The LGBTQ History Project, described Lake as "the San Francisco street poet and punkette who once proclaimed that her greatest talent was making people cry."
Lake was associated with the Cockettes and Angels of Light and chronicled a period of LGBTQ life and culture that helped shape generations of artists and performers.
