Caroline Rash will visit City Lights on Saturday, October 11th at 3:00pm to share her debut poetry collection, Because the bullet arrives. She'll be joined in conversation by New York Times bestselling author (and her father), Ron Rash. Because the bullet arrives, the debut poetry chapbook from Caroline Rash, reckons with suffering and uncertainty in an age of noise, grief, and contradiction. The collection is a call toward resilience and a celebration of what keeps us going: the natural world, our people, and stubborn hope.
