The author will be joined by critic and poet Wayne Koestenbaum and Editor and Co-Publisher of Edgewise Press, Richard Milazzo in this panel discussion event. As stated in Hyperalleric “if you can afford the flight, go to Naples tomorrow—but if you cannot, get this book today.” Or, hear the tales first-hand from the brilliant author. Free.
