https://bit.ly/3N30eI9 to register

Featuring readings by Emma McKenna, Adèle Barclay, Tea Gerbeza, and Amanda Merpaw, and hosted by Jaclyn Desforges.

The event will be recorded, and auto-closed captions are available. Links to PDFs of readings will be provided in the chat for the duration of the event and will be deleted afterward. Guests will be requested to turn off mics and cameras during the readings to preserve bandwidth.

Stick around for a Q & A, conversation, and a draw! All guests will be entered to win incredible prizes, including poetry books by the evening’s writers.

GOLD STAR is available for purchase online at Book*hug Press, through your local bookseller, or you can request a copy at your local library.
