Join Emily Kerlin and Christy Prahl for a dual author event
of their new books of poetry:
The Sword Swallowers and With Her Hair on Fire.
The Sword Swallowers (Emily):
People have been swallowing swords for 4,000 years.
The poems in The Sword Swallowers are a personal
and historical foray into this death-defying practice.
(Throat lozenges recommended, but not required.)
With Her Hair on Fire (Christy):
Reminiscent of the City Lights Pocket Poets series in
both size and scope, these 26 prose poems explore,
then quietly explode, what we know of familiar terrains.
