Immerse yourself in an evening of captivating poetry, where words dance like monsters and emotions run wild. We invite you to witness the power of language as poets explore:

So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, cozy up by the fire, and let the magic of words transport you to a world of imagination and wonder. Don't miss out on this extraordinary celebration of Nicelle Davis's new collection The Language of Fractions--a book that explores the more human side of monsters.
