Announcing the St John’s book launch party for The Garbage Poems by Anna Swanson, with illustrations by April White. Readings, art show, book-themed drinks and snacks!
Tuesday, Aug 26, 7pm  Leyton Gallery, 6 Clift’s-Baird’s Cove
Free, refreshments served!

Created out of words found on trash collected at local swimming holds, these poems use the found language of beer cans and chip bags to explore chronic illness, queerness, swimming, and the deeply political nature of joy. April White’s original paintings will be on display and for sale. Optional post-launch night swim in the ocean!

Accessibility note: Manual door with two steps down inside the gallery entrance.
Please wear a mask & refrain from wearing perfume or strong scents
