A one-of-a-kind night celebrating the release of poet Logan Phillips’ new book, RECKON, published by The University of Arizona Press.

“What was it like to have been born in Tombstone, Arizona? In Reckon, artist Logan Phillips returns to the fabled town to face the history he was raised on as a boy—gunfights, outlaws, and Hollywood cowboys—for a new, personal confrontation with the West’s foundational mythology. This hybrid memoir also explores sexuality, masculinity, parenting, and what it means to love a land rife with contradiction and “slathered in murder.” – The University of Arizona Press

“A full-throated consideration of the antecedent of sultry desert queerness—the cowboy.” – Raquel Gutierrez
