Gesture Events
Indie Author & Press Fest
Hello darlings! Gesture Press will be supporting local indie authors and fellow presses at this all-day bookfair, reading, and panel event at Counterpath Denver.
We will be selling books and chatting with anyone who stops by. Later in the day, we’re in two featured events:
Indie Press Panel: 2-3pm
Gesture Press will join Fonograf Press, Dzanc Books, and Fulcrum Press to discuss our operating models, what works for our presses (and what doesn’t), and really what an Indie Press does.
Gesture Author Reading: 3:30-4:30pm
Jade Lascelles, Kika Dorsey, Toni Oswald, and Sarah Elizabeth Schantz
We hope you can stop by, we would love to see you!
xoxo Gesture Press

The Wilds Manifesto: We are silver. We are green. We are the tendrils in between. We are the post trauma reaction to the corporate industrial complex. Our roots crack through the asphalt and your plasma screen dream. We are writers but we are not just words. We are musicians but not just notes. We are painters but not just colors. We are dancers but not just gesture. We are filmmakers but not just celluloid. We are actors and the world is our stage. We are poets and the world is our page. We ally ourselves with all others who are victims of the the capitalist complex. We ally ourselves with the animals, the trees, the rivers and streams, the mountains, the forest, the deserts and oceans. We are the beautiful weeds re-wilding the concrete jungle.

Sarah Elizabeth Schantz + Toni Oswald at the Jaipur Lit Fest
Join Gesture authors, Sarah Elizabeth Schantz and Toni Oswald, in their performance of The Call of the Sirens Down in the Water.
Sarah Elizabeth Schantz’s upcoming publication, Down in the Water, unfolds a story of mermaid-type creatures that appear in a watering hole in a small town and of local girls going missing in the spring. Toni Oswald’s Sirens speaks of another sort of creature, part animal, part woman, that falls from the sky. Both write of the urgent call of the feminine.
