Casual Encountersz is part of a growing DIY community of guerrilla readings across vacant spaces, living rooms and rooftops, adding a DIY frisson to nightlife; as founder Sammy Loren expresses, these are ‘readings of rage and romance.’
‘While living in Mexico City, he fell in with a thriving literary circuit divorced from cultural establishments, where poetry groups held court on street corners and in back alleys. Loren returned to L.A. in 2021 and hosted an ersatz dinner-party salon that spun off into Casual Encountersz, “readings of rage and romance” at his house, or anywhere really.’ exert from LA Times (2023)
