The NewSouth Bookstore actively hosts bookstore and off-site literary programs — book talks and readings — along with a variety of other programs both entertaining and educational. These include presentations by historians, readings of plays, music events, and community service programs. We enjoy such gatherings quite a lot. Our bookstore events calendar is always evolving, so please regularly check back here for updates to our calendar (and/or follow us on social media, where all such activities are also posted). We welcome your event suggestions and thank you for your support.

Saturday, March 29 at 5pm at The NewSouth Bookstore in partnership with Geneva M. Watford: Join us for a talk by W.J. Lofton about his exciting new poetry collection, boy maybe
March 29 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
W.J. Lofton is our guest for National Poetry Month in a program co-sponsored by Geneva M. Watford. Lofton is Chicago-born poet and multimodal artist. He writes vivid, accessible poems that channel the energy, urgency, ambitions, joys, and sorrows of a young Black queer artist. They are about love and flirtation, sweet tea and hot sauce, God and family. Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Jericho Brown calls his poetry “enchanting and provocative.” Join us for a reception and festive event celebrating the release of boy maybe on Saturday, March 29 at 5pm.
