This is a more announce-y email with two purposes:
The first purpose is to invite you to a fundraiser reading & performance happening this Saturday evening (6pm) at Bombyx in Florence, MA to support the creation of a local Belladonna* reading series. Your ticket purchase will help us pay readers and curators and print work by local authors! I recommend purchasing a ticket in advance since we may run out by the day of.
Two pink blobs on a red background with text reading, “Belladonna* Arrival a reading, silent auction, and fundraiser for Belladonna* Collaborative featuring: Ocean Vuong, Andrea Lawlor, Britt Billmeyer-Finn & music by Bea Carlson” superimposed on the pink blobs. L - R, top - bottom: Bea Carlson, Britt Billmeyer-Finn, Andrea Lawlor, Ocean Vuong I think it’ll be a really good event! I mean, our readers are writers Ocean Vuong, Andrea Lawlor, and Britt Billmeyer-Finn, and accordionist Bea Carlson. We will have chaplets of work by each of the authors for sale, as well as a silent auction of work by local artists. Light snacks and bevs will be available, too (but please mask when not eating).
The second is to ask if some of my local pals might be available to help work the door and book table. Let me know! I’ll give you books and grant you a boon (and who doesn’t want to be granted a boon). If you’re interested, just send me an email or text if you have my number.
