Dream Baby Press hosted its latest supersize salon in a Financial District Burger King Wednesday night.
The bacon-double-cheese-reading began with poems by Dream Baby founder Matt Starr, which touched on sexually charged fraternal power-tool play and A-list incest, then moved to novelist and screenwriter Sam Lansky, who performed a sweet, precociously pained poem he wrote at 13.
Author Coco Mellors read a hilarious, heartbreaking and bloody body horror-love story taken from her upcoming novel, while Carole Radziwill recalled a rendezvous with Bruce Springsteen from her days as an ABC producer.
“The White Lotus’ ” Lukas Gage, meanwhile, whose new book, “I Wrote This for Attention,” had been lovingly taped to the wall for display purposes, read an unintentional poem tweeted by a “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star, which included stanzas like “Her hot dog outfits remind us that she sucked her way to the top” and “She doesn’t listen because her ears are stitched down to her face so tight she can’t hear.”
The evening also featured an impromptu but impeccable performance by the kind of wandering nut you typically find in downtown fast food places late at night.
Meanwhile, burger queens Deveen and Myra kept the beef flipping, the beer flowing and the party going.
