Join us for an evening of poetry, creativity, and community at Good Company Bookstore as we invite American poet and medical sociologist, Alexus Erin, to read their poems, followed by a discussion and Q&A. Whether you're a poet, a poetry lover, or simply curious, this is an opportunity to enjoy and connect with fellow literary enthusiasts.
What to Expect from the Event?
Alexus will be reading poems from her most recent collection, Cartoon Logic, Cartoon Violence (Baobab Press, 2022) and selected new works-in-progress from an upcoming collection interested in themes of dreaming, grand maroonage, alienation, and 'neo-confessional' lyric poetry. There will be a discussion and Q&A to follow.
