You are invited to celebrate the launch of poetry chapbook The Letters of Puppet and Clown (Anstruther Press) by Edie Reaney Chunn.
About this Event

Join us in the Night Box for an evening with Puppet, Clown and their various letters (if you’ve ever shared a secret in a dark room, or sat in an audience with the house lights out and wondered “Will this play ever begin?”, then you know what the Night Box is — you’ve been there before). There will be lists; there will be dance; there may be a half-serious thought.

Copies will be available for purchase. This event is free, but please RSVP here as capacity is limited.
