Please join us at Skylight Books on Sunday, October 15th, at 5pm, for an important event: Gail Wronsky will read from her brand new poetry collection, Imperfect Pastorals, a 2017 publication of What Books Press.
Joining Gail will be Katharine Haake, reading from her collection of parables, just-released by Gold Line Press, Assumptions We Might Make About the Postworld.
