About
Founded in 2014, You Can’t Kill a Poet is a regular reading series highlighting queer and/or trans identified writers and poets. Regularly hosted at Tattooed Mom, but traveling around the city, the series seeks to be an enthusiastic and exuberant outlet for LGBTQ poets wanting to find a space for themselves.

You Can’t Kill a Poet has been named Best Literary Event by PhillyMag in 2023!
“The success stems from host and curator Boston Gordon’s mission to bring together the best queer and trans writers from the Philadelphia area — and from the fact that these readings are often visceral, incisive and funny, all meant to bring you a little closer to the city’s literary community.”
