FreeBook Launch: Magdalena Ball and Willo Drummond
Celebrate the launch of new books by poets Magdalena Ball and Willo Drummond.
Maggie’s Bobish is a poignant poetry memoir of her great-grandmother and her escape from the pogroms of Eastern Europe to a difficult life in New York City.
Willo’s collection Moon Wrasse engages with gender transition from the perspective of a life partner, issues of disenfranchised grief, parenthood ambivalence, infertility, and literary influence – the creative relationship between reading and writing.
