Literary Nights with Unsolicited Press: Featuring Liz Kellebrew and Elizabeth Jaeger
Literary Nights with Unsolicited Press is our live reading series celebrating writers whose work pushes at the edges of form, feeling, and language. These evenings center the text itself: writers reading from their work, followed by a guided conversation that digs into craft, process, and the lives of the books.
On February 4 at 5:30pm, we’re honored to host readings by Liz Kellebrew and Elizabeth Jaeger, with the evening hosted by Unsolicited Press and Rosalia Scalia.
The event will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel:

Liz Kellebrew Reads from Cloistered
Liz Kellebrew will read from Cloistered, her award-winning debut short story collection that bends reality into unfamiliar, exhilarating shapes.
The stories in Cloistered operate like Mobius strips, looping back on themselves through shifting perspectives and surreal logic. Isolation amplifies connection. Desire collides with self-destruction. The familiar becomes strange. Kellebrew’s prose is cinematic, sensual, and exacting, inviting readers into a world where transformation is inevitable and rarely comfortable.
These stories do not explain themselves. They open. They detonate. They linger.
Cloistered is available for $19.95.
Elizabeth Jaeger Reads from Stolen: Love and Loss in the Time of COVID-19
Elizabeth Jaeger will read from Stolen: Love and Loss in the Time of COVID-19, a devastating and deeply personal account of losing her father during the earliest days of the pandemic in New York City.
Written as a diary-like narrative, Stolen documents the intimate realities of grief as it unfolds in real time. The book moves between the present and tender flashbacks that reveal a devoted father and grandfather, grounding the loss in love, memory, and family.
This is a work of witness. It refuses distance. It speaks plainly and powerfully to a collective grief many of us are still carrying.
Stolen: Love and Loss in the Time of COVID-19 is available for $22.95.
