About this Event
"Waiting inside each of us are lives we can't imagine living or even wanting — until upheaval or loss or what appears to be a profound mistake means we must become these people and live these lives, after all."
Join us for an evening of poetry with Michael Dechane as he presents his book The Long Invisible on February 6th, 6pm, at Hub City Bookshop.

About the Book:
Here are poems for those days when we wake up inside some raw, unchartable place. Some trembling songs to companion us in the dark, as we go. Reminders that help and hope may be waiting for us where we never would have looked. These poems invite us to recognize and welcome, even to bless, who we truly are as we dare to set forth on paths we never asked for — which are, after all, the only way home from here.

Michael Dechane is a poet who carves wooden spoons and indulges his passion for historic home renovation.

He serves as the VP of Communications on the Board of the North Carolina Poetry Society.
