P.W. BRIDGMAN: AN AFTERNOON OF READINGS
SUNDAY, 24 MARCH 2024 | DOORS AT 15:30, READINGS FROM 16:00
Join a distinguished assortment of local writers and artists, who will read from the poetry and fiction of P.W. Bridgman, as we anticipate Bridgman’s forthcoming collection, The World You Now Own, a hybrid volume that combines new poems with a novella in verse. It will be released by Ekstasis Editions in the spring of 2024. You may be thinking: isn’t this celebration just a little premature? That’s just how we roll at Notional Space.
