THREE BOOK SET 3-PACK JACK - BOOK #1
THE (W)HOLE STORY
A NIGHT OF PERFORMANCE CURATED BY STEVEN REIGNS
A QUEER ASSEMBLAGE
Bawdy Autobiography, Carnal Creativity & Ass-splosive Art!

There is so much to praise in 3-Pack Jack, beginning with the books’ brilliant nerve to claim space for contemporary queer performance. In an era when gay men increasingly strive for assimilation and normalcy, these artists, all heirs to the liberator poetics of Walt Whitman, shamelessly insist on their perverse erotics and subcultural difference. How thrilling to see a new generation of queer men who believe that radical sexual politics are at the care of gay liberation and who, even more audaciously, see the literary and performing arts as its primary cultural practice. This is a book immediately necessary for our times.

—David Roman, author of O Solo Homo, Acts of Intervention: Performance, Gay Culture, and AIDS, and Performance in America: Contemporary U.S. Culture and the Performing Arts

Kudos to all the sexual warriors in this ‘cum’ pilation of stories who dare trek where so many dare not. I especially enjoyed The (W)hole Story. Too long relegated to hide in the shadow of shame, our beloved butt holes finally get a public forum to bask in their righteous and divine ‘holiness’. If it were up to me I’d recommend that this trilogy of tales be included in every LGBT studies class in North America.

—John Fleck, award-winning theater and performance artist

THREE BOOK SET 3-PACK JACK - BOOK #2
CUM AS YOU ARE
A NIGHT OF PERFORMANCE CURATED BY STEVEN REIGNS
A QUEER ASSEMBLAGE
Raunchy Revelations, Indelicate Retellings & Ejaculatory Excursions!

This beautiful Eros-Drenched, Hole-Some, Cum-Filled collection is a fierce chronicle of how queer men experience their flesh and desire a few years into the 21st Century. Gathered from the performances and texts of an amazing gay culture renaissance going on in L.A., this juicy boxed set is a guidebook for where asses/dicks/hearts have come from and where we might go next. Don’t leave home without it!

—Tim Miller, performer and author of Shirts & Skin, Body Blows and 1001 Beds

When you got the barback listening to spoken word right in the middle of their shift you know you’re on to something. Talking about sex is usually a good bet but the subject is so cloaked in every kind of cultural mash up that one must be very careful to stick to their own exact truth. Do it right and you got this collection which started as a packed performance series at Akbar where, yes, the barback, bartender, and every damn audience member all listened hard. Do it right and you have a collective wave of anecdotes from Queer Americans sneaking avante garde tales of hot S-E-X through the laughs-come on and Celebrate The Smut.

—Jennifer Blowdryer, Smut Fest Founder and author of Blowsy

THREE BOOK SET 3-PACK JACK - BOOK #3
COCK TALES
A NIGHT OF PERFORMANCE CURATED BY STEVEN REIGNS
A QUEER ASSEMBLAGE
Deviant Discourse, Salacious Storytelling & Boylesque!

Everything we’re supposed to hide, never to refer to, sits up naked and wags its tail in the joyful pages of these three interrelated books. In 3-Pack Jack, acclaimed poet Steven Reigns summons and empowers an amazing variety of gay men before live LA audiences to talk about forbidden subjects. Defying societal shame-fighting even the internalized self-loathing we all of us suffer from to one degree or another-these brave, funny, fiery men present and celebrate, like 21st century Walt Whitmans, their dicks and their assholes, their lives and desires, the embarrassment and rewards of our endless search and fulfillment.

—Kevin Killian, author of Shy, Impossible Princess, and Arctic Summer

A delightfully dirty, bawdy, three-way book set! Cool cock performance art, with anal expressionism at its very best, with award worthy sperm stories! For those of us who missed the live performances, we can now have it all! Get it! Take it! It’s good stuff.

—Annie Sprinkle, author of Post-Porn Modernist
