Dyke Affair Issue 02 Launch at The Library Project

on April 24, 2026

Join us at 4pm on Saturday, 9th May to launch the second issue of Dyke Affair at The Library Project. 

The evening will be a chance to celebrate the latest issue, as well as Issue 01, both of which are stocked at The Library Project. We'll have contributors from both issues reading their work, including poetry, essays, and fiction.

Dyke Affair, a tiny press by and for dykes everywhere, was formed in January 2025, at a time when far-right ideologies are gaining ground and queer people are increasingly targeted around the world. DIY queer publishing that's passed from hand to hand, friend to friend, and lover to lover, is more important than ever, as a tool of resistance and celebration of our lives and voices.

Dyke Affair's editors are based in Dublin, Paris, and Lisbon, though they publish work by dykes all over the world. So far, they have published two issues of Dyke Affair, as well as a poetry pamphlet, allowing them to donate funds to queer mutual aid (The Small Trans Library, Visual AIDS, individual transition funds on GoFundMe, etc). 

Join us at 6pm on Thursday 25th June at the International Centre for the Image to mark the launch of Stray Sod by Maria Lax.
