Tomorrow is our book launch reading and party for Field Guide to the End of the World, at Matthews Winery in Woodinville! 3 PM. Followed by a little wine-cheese-cookie-cupcake reception! Kathleen Flenniken, Poet Laureate of Washington State emeritus and author of the stunning Plume, will be the opening reader, so don’t be late. My mom (Pictured above with my book cover poster and at Matthews Winery) will be selling books – isn’t she adorable?
All the reasons you should come:
- Wine!
- Poetry!
- End of the world!
- Hanging out with awesome poets!
I’m hoping to see you there! It’s my first reading for the new book. I’m so excited! And here are some random pictures of hot air balloons rising in my backyard!
