The collection is built around an ensemble of characters that range from known to unknown. Serubiri crafts visually-inspired poems that combine the photographic, the intensely personal and the scholarly. In this debut, he manages to domesticate larger-than-life figures, including Zanzibari-born singer-songwriter Freddie Mercury and Nigerian-born photographer Rotimi Fani Kayode.<\/p>\n<p>In the book&#8217;s first world-wide release, Serubiri Moses will introduce THE MOON IS READING US A BOOK in conversation with P\u00e2ntano Books co-editor Alice dos Reis, and read some of its poems.<\/p>\n<p>The event will be held in English.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Bio&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<strong>Serubiri Moses<\/strong> is a Ugandan curator and author based in New York City.
