About the event
Casey Charles lives in Palm Springs, California and Missoula, Montana, where he has taught Shakespeare, queer studies, and law in literature. His first book, The Sharon Kowalski Case: Lesbian and Gay Rights on Trial (2003), was nominated for a Publishing Triangle Award in nonfiction, and a collection of essays, Critical Queer Studies: Law, Film, and Fiction in Contemporary America followed in 2012.
The Trials of Christopher Mann, a novel, came out in 2013. He has also published two poetry chapbooks, including Blood Work (2013). 2018 brought the publication of a full-length poetry collection entitled Zicatela from Foothills Press, along with the release of his second novel, The Monkey Cages, from Lethe Press.
Charles’s writing draws on his experience as an activist, a trial lawyer, and a researcher. Most recently Undetectable (Running Wild 2024), his memoir, tells the story of a longterm HIV survivor.
