About the Book.
Emoticon Lover is a limited-edition zine, signed and numbered.
The launch takes place on the anniversary of the 1983 Pride March, the first ever dedicated to people living with and lost to AIDS. That legacy runs through every page of the Zine.
Audience members will be invited to read excerpts and share stories of love, loss, pride, and remembrance.
Join the conversation, as we honor the ones we carry with us.
