Join the Lawrence Arts Center and the Raven Book Store for a book launch and poetry reading with editor and esteemed Melville scholar Elizabeth Schultz.

After Moby~Dick is an anthology that includes sixty-one poems inspired by Melville’s seafaring epic novel. Poets include Dan Beachy-Quick, Susan Howe, Jeffrey Yang, Rachel Richardson, and Jessica Cuello.

About the Co-editors:

We are delighted to host the launch of local author Doug Bornemann’s latest book, A House of Cards. The second book in the Heiromancer Trilogy, this period fantasy uses an ensemble cast to explore how perceptions of inequity drive and define us.

Former Kansas poet laureate Wyatt Townley launches her new book of poems, Rewriting the Body.

New York Times bestselling romance author Christina Lauren is actually two writers (and best friends!) who are visiting us to launch their brand new book, The Unhoneymooners. The authors will discuss their writing process, their books and will answer questions.
