It’s been a little over two weeks since HORSE SHOW hit bookstore shelves nationwide!
I’m beyond excited for the next stop on my book tour, which will be at St. Louis’s own Left Bank Books at 7 PM CST on 5/2/24 alongside Travis Mossotti!
Travis is celebrating the recent release of his latest poetry collection, Apocryphal Genesis! And after reading his bio, you’ll see right away why it makes perfect ecological sense that we read together:
“Travis Mossotti has worked and volunteered over the last decade+ alongside his wife (a carnivore biologist) with U.S. government, university, and nonprofit organizations on data collection, animal captures/ releases and lab work for various endangered species recovery efforts all across North America. TRAVIS MOSSOTTI’s previous collections are ABOUT THE DEAD, FIELD STUDY, and NARCISSUS AMERICANA. His fourth collection, RACECAR JESUS, won the Christopher Smart-Joan Alice Poetry Prize and is forthcoming in 2023 with the Black Spring Press Group/Eyewear in the UK. Mossotti’s fifth collection, APOCRYPHAL GENESIS, won the Alma Book Award and is forthcoming with Saturnalia Books in 2024. He currently serves as a Biodiversity Fellow for the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University. He lives and works in St. Louis.”
We will have copies of both HORSE SHOW and APOCRYPHAL GENIUS for sale and signing at the bookstore on the day (natch!) but you can also order signed copies shipped anywhere in the world direct from Left Bank Books!
Left Bank will also be livestreaming the reading via their YouTube channel for any curious out-of-towners.
Onward!
