Please join us for a special evening featuring poet and publisher Ted Washington's latest book, "Bone Lyre," and poet and teacher Alexis V. Jackson's latest book, "My Sisters' Country." Of "Bone Lyre," the writer Georgianna Simmons writes: “Love poems like ‘Lauren’ put tears in my eyes with captivating words and rhythm. Haikus featuring nature and politics both eased and upset me with their truths. 'Bone Lyre' is an emotional read.” "My Sisters’ Country" artfully braids together a multi-vocal chorus of Black women’s voices across time. Jackson bends and breaks forms like the sonnet, pantoum, and zuihitsu. She invites readers to consider the ways Black women, who were once considered countryless property, made country out of and in one another. Light refreshments served.

From the organizers: This October, Bread & Salt, in collaboration with curator and artist Jason Sherry, presents Haunted House 3: The Castle, the third annual Halloween art event designed to challenge and engage audiences with its unique, immersive experience. Over two nights—Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, from 5 to 9 pm—27 artists will showcase light, sound, performance, and sculptural installations inspired by Halloween folklore, art history, and medieval architecture. Set in a haunted house-style maze within the Bread & Salt galleries, the exhibition will take viewers on a journey from the eerie to the playful, with scenes and performances that evoke fear, satire, and curiosity. Highlights include installations based on La Llorona, the “War-Hall,” a pop-art interpretation of an old dark castle, and a 16mm movie theater screening classic horror films. The project will evolve throughout the night, ensuring that no two visits are the same. This event offers a rare opportunity to experience San Diego’s experimental art community as they explore the intersection of art, history, and Halloween lore. Admission is free, with donations accepted. Featured Artists Include: Brian & Ryan, Dan Allen, Emily Aust, Claudia Cano, Joe Leo Cantrell, Kate Clark, Yvette Dibos, Matt Dunn, Sal Gonzalez, Ryan Griffith, Matt Hebert, Lindy Ivey, Wendell Kling, Spenser Little, Joshua Eggleton, Nuala Eggleton, Xuchi Naungayan-Eggleton, Mya Hunnefeld, Richard Keely, Natusestmori, Anna O’Cain, Sofie Ramos, Trista Roland, Jason Sherry, Paul Vargas, Jones Von Jonestein, Helena Westra.
