Katie Peterson In Store Event For Her New Poetry Collection FOG AND SMOKE

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Tuesday, January 23rd at 7:00 pm when local Berkeley poet KATIE PETERSON comes to read from her new book Fog and Smoke: Poems, in which she unfurls the quotidian fabric of our lives, patterned with the difficulties of language and this moment. Katie will be joined in discussion by poet MATTHEW ZAPRUDER, and she will sign copies of her book after the presentation.

KATIE PETERSON is the author of the poetry collections This One Tree; Permission; The Accounts, winner of the Rilke Prize; and A Piece of Good News. She lives in California and teaches at the University of California, Davis.

MATTHEW ZAPRUDER is the author of five collections of poetry, most recently Father’s Day, as well as Why Poetry, and Story of a Poem. He lives in Northern California, and teaches in the MFA in Creative Writing at Saint Mary’s College of California, and is editor at large at Wave Books, where he edits contemporary poetry, prose, and translations. His forthcoming collection of poetry, I Love Hearing Your Dreams, will be published by Scribner in early 2025.

This is a free event, but we ask that you register on Eventbrite or call the store at (510) 704-8222.
