The Poems & Pie Book Club will discuss works of contemporary and classic poetry and enjoy pie. The group welcomes anyone with an interest in learning more about poetry—no prior knowledge required.
About the book: Tumbleweeds and wandering cacti litter the page, coyotes croon at the prose. In poems haunted by specters of intimate partner violence, Girl’s Guide to Leaving considers what it means to escape the love that trapped you and find a temporary home in the barely cooled ashes of a wildfire. Winner of Texas Institute of Letters’ John A. Robert Johnson Award for a First Book of Poetry and winner of Writers’ League of Texas Book Award for Poetry.
