Dear Friends, For those of you who are fellow Rochestarians and Western New Yorkers, I wanted to invite you to an exciting in-person event happening this Thursday at Ampersand Books in Rochester. Writers & Books will be hosting an open house and book fair from 6:30-9PM as part of this weekend’s Taking Care conference. At 7:30 PM, local writer and visual artist Stephen West & I will be doing a short (30 min) reading and Q&A. It’s my only local in-person event since my book came out. There will be limited-edition prints of the broadside above available for sale at the book fair. The broadside is a collaboration between me and writer and visual artist Stephen West; the prose was cut from an earlier version of “Saris and Sorrows,” an essay in my book. I wrote about the broadside and the process of collaborating with Stephen in Newsletter #12, which you can read here! I hope to see some of you on Thursday! Warmly, Sejal |
