Utopias Everywhere: An Interview with Bob Sykora I’ve been hearing about Bob Sykora, his work, and the things he gets up to for years. He was in the cohort that left the spring before I started an MFA at UMass Boston, and everyone spoke so …

I had a chance to talk to @bobsykora.bsky.social about his WONDERFUL book, Utopians in Love, and @vol1brooklyn.bsky.social was kind enough to publish that conversation. Check it out below!!
www.vol1brooklyn.com/2025/07/10/u...

Text reads Tell someone you love them by preordering my book. Two cartoon hearts, one wearing a flower and both with great eye lashes, the other holding a copy of my book Utopians in Love

Text says Preorder Utopians in Love today, overa bunch of candy hearts. The hearts read: The utopians are in love! Maybe my ass is good enough. My heart won’t be held down by history. History is longing. What absurdities can be imagined greater than institutions? Totes. Nice. My book cover hovers in the right hand upper corner

Text reads: your parter doesn’t want flowers for Valentine’s Day They want you to preorder utopians in love by bob sykora from Game over Books, pink background, flowers on the bottom, 4 cartoon hearts, one giving a snappy finger point, the other holding flowers behind their back, and two that are like not in on these flowers they’re so sassy

Happy Valentine’s Day // The Utopians are SO in Love! // you can preorder my book here:
