Anthony Burgess Foundation, Manchester


Come witness the reckoning. Step inside a raucous, poetic exorcism of patriarchy -- blistering, unfiltered, and charged with the punk-blooded wit of the transgressive artist and literary provocateur Sue Fox. Launching not one, but two visceral and visionary books -- 'Cocks & The Apocalypse' and 'The Scatological Sons' -- this is an evening that detonates the polite boundaries of gender discourse with irreverence, insight, and incantatory humour. Sue Fox, renowned for her fearless art, dark satire, and taboo-breaking prose, has been documenting the male psyche from the inside out. In 'Cocks & The Apocalypse', she rifles through the MSN chats, dreamscapes, and digital wreckage of early 2000s masculinity -- sniper, scammer, games-maker, pornstar, poet -- to unmask the fragile gods of the internet age. In 'The Scatological Sons', she takes it further: through a feminist, scatological lens of the sacred and the abject, the cock is deconstructed, dethroned, and reimagined in ritual, poetry, and psychoanalytic haunting. sequestering long time lovers to brief liasons. It's also a book sequestering long-time lovers into brief, blazing liaisons -- a compost heap of intimacy, lust, absurdity and loss, where bodies are archived as language and desire is both relic and ritual released.

Expect an evening of rants, rituals, readings, laughter, performance, and punk magic.

The line-up includes:-

Thick Richard - punk poet & lyrical misanthrope

Fat Roland - comedic word-slinger & literary subversive

Heidi Hinda Chadwick - witchy wordsmith & ritualist

Rory Hughes - apocalyptic scribe with a thunderous tongue

Mark Pilkington (Thought Universe) - sonic explorer

Dave Mitchell (Incunabula Media) - publisher of the strange

Sue Fox - the night's anarchic hostess & deviant-in-chief



Books and merchandise will be on sale from 6.30pm -- come early to browse, linger, meet the tribe, and toast to the end of the cockocracy.

This is not a reading. This is a rite.
Seats are limited. Expect provocation. Come dressed for the apocalypse -- or rebirth.
