Join us for an evening with Chicago poets Temperance Aghamohammadi, Jessie McCarty, and S. Yarberry featuring readings from KD Sims’ new book “I Cut My Nails for You” (Discount Guillotine, 2026).

"I Cut My Nails for You, again, proves that women invented poetry. Sims is a triple sexed Edna St. Vincent Millay. Her debut collection smears Persephonic perversity with buoyant, babyish puppy play, settling like honey at the bottom of the teacup. If you’ve ever wondered what Schiele’s painted women might be whispering to each other, this book is for you." – L Scully, author of Self-Romancing
