FREE: The Ground Below Zero Launch Party 11/9
A Leftist and an artist walk into a bar- and what happens next will be extraordinary. On behalf of UpSet Press I am thrilled to announce the launch party of The Ground Below Zero, a brilliant and occasionally deeply wounding narrative of one man's journey around some of the world's most terrifying cities and some of the heart's most intimate warzones.
I would like to invite you, and your readers to:

The Ground Below Zero spans a decade of reportage from disaster zones, the shifting racial politics of post 9/11 New York, the wild festival Burning Man, the intimate battleground of family history to the protests against police killings of Black and Latino youth. A hybrid memoir, The Ground Below Zero, shifts forms from poetry to memoir to fiction, as it contends with some of our most burning existential questions.
