#BookReview: After We Drowned by Jill Yonit Goldberg “After We Drowned is absorbing, not just because of its page-turning plot, but also because of its deft delineation of character, setting, and atmosphere of ghost trees and marsh rats” @AnvilPress

I'll be reading at the Surrey Art Gallery on Saturday the 25th, part of their Forming Futures event, but you'll have to be prompt to hear my poems, as it's a rich schedule of performers, with me from 6:30 to 6:50. Hope to see you!
