Enjoy an afternoon filled with literature and love in all forms.
Calling all book lovers, booklovers, and connection-seekers of every kind!
This Valentine’s Day, join us for Love and Connection: A Busboys and Poets Valentine’s Mixer—a speed-dating–style mixer designed for making all kinds of connections, from friendship and community to creative and romantic sparks.
Guests will rotate through short, guided conversations, giving you the chance to meet new people and share ideas in a fun, low-pressure setting. Along the way, enjoy pastries and drinks while discussing bell hooks’ All About Love, a powerful exploration of love in all its forms—self-love, friendship, community, and beyond.
Come solo or with friends. Partnered or single. Curious and open-hearted. This event is about connection, not coupling.
Bonus: Receive 10% off the paperback edition of All About Love all February long at all Busboys and Poets locations.
