$EVAN CHELSEE recurring characters BOOK LAUNCH w\/Guest Readers$

Join us on 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟴𝘁𝗵 at 𝟲:𝟬𝟬𝗽𝗺 for an in-store group reading celebrating the book launch of 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 by Long Beach author and podcaster 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗲 joined by fellow Long Beach poets, 𝗞𝗲𝗮𝘆𝘃𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 and 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻.
𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 is a poetry chapbook that uses playlists, text messages, flowcharts, and other forms to tell the story of one chaotic year in Los Angeles and its reverberations. It's a story about big feelings and the people we try to locate them in, about the scripts we have a hard time letting go of, and the moments we focus on to the exclusion of everything else.
𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗲 (they/them) is a doer of many things. At any given time you might find them co-hosting 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪 𝘗𝘰𝘥, skill-building in restorative culture, or taking on their umpteenth project. In addition to poetry, Evan writes fiction, essays, and the occasional rec lists. You can find them surrounded by beverages in Long Beach, CA. They live on the internet at evanchelsee.com
𝗞𝗲𝗮𝘆𝘃𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 (she/they) is a Black queer CODA living in Long Beach, California. Her poetry has appeared in 𝘏𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘨, 𝘍𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘌𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘔𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴, among others, and she has been featured in the 𝘓𝘰𝘴 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴. You can find her at home, trying desperately to keep her plants alive.
𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 is a poet and educator living in Long Beach, CA. She is the cohost of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪 𝘗𝘰𝘥: 𝘈 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘰𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵. In her free time, you’ll find her experiencing deep, short-lived obsessions, and trying not to K*ll her houseplants. Her first poetry collection, 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘛𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘩, published by innateDIVINITYpress, is available now.
The event is free and open to the public, no tickets or reservations required!
