UPCOMING AUTHOR READINGS DURING THE SMOL BOOK FAIR

3/1/2021

 
After much consideration, we have decided to participiate in the SMOL Fair. SMOL Fair is an alternative, virtual book fair that will be 'live' from March 3-7, 2021. Many of our books will be on sale during the book festival because we want everyone to have access to the book discounts we'd normally offer at an in-person book fair.
 
Several of our authors will be hosting live readings throughout the duration of the book fair. You can find the events schedule for the SMOL Fair here. You can also learn about each author and event directly below.

NOTE: Not all readings are listed here. Some authors may have opted to give a reading after the deadline for this post. Please check the SMOL Fair's Events Calendar for the most up-to-date schedule.

The Messiah's Customary Diner Booth Reading with Marion Deal
Time: Mar 5, 2021, 06:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

Sit. The Messiah's Customary Diner Booth welcomes you. Yes, you: no matter what truth you're spinning, so long as you're spinning it earnestly. You've got a place with these poems cast as an intellectual fossil record of shit and summoners and something that Rimbaud would probably like, poems as a gathering ground for Soviet spies and child prophets, disaffected professors and radiant spinsters. Share a soggy grilled cheese with drifters who could just as easily show up enshrined on a tablet of Sumerian pictograms as lounge in a 50s diner. We're open all night

A Reading with Cameron Miller
​Day & Time: Friday, March 5th at 5:00 PM Eastern
A reading of poems paired with photographs from the 2020 publication, “Cairn, poems and essays.”

Email rcammiller@gmail to receive a zoom invitation to the reading.

Readers looking for an engaging and spiritual journey will find comfort in CAIRN: POEMS AND ESSAYS. After decades of reading and ogling poetry, Miller made room among the novels, newspaper columns, and preaching to hone poems amidst the wild beauty of northernmost Vermont and the pastoral beauty of the Finger Lakes. The elements of nature are this poet's paint but he also paddles a gondola through the dark channels of the mind while lighting the way.

A Reading with Joseph Allen Costa
Day & Time: Thursday, March 4th  6:00 PM Eastern

Built on stunning character development, plot, and unflinching emotion, Joseph Allen Costa delivers stunning prose perfect for the times. The settings, both personal and universal, are not only tangible in the imagination, but they invite the reader in to experience stories from the heart.The twelve-story, linked collection, COMETS, follows through-line protagonist, Roberto, as he grows from a working teenager influenced by the men in his father’s cabinet shop, to a disillusioned 42, unwittingly trying to fill his father’s shoes, while searching for a deeper understanding of himself and his life. Set in Ybor City, Tampa’s Latin Quarter, the stories capture a microcosm of blue collar problems, with implications that go beyond racial, economic and cultural boundaries, illuminating a greater understanding of the human experiences we all share, while loss of childhood resonates as an overarching theme.

A Reading with Thomas Calder, Author of The Wind Under the Door
Day & Time: March 5th, 2021 08:00 PM Eastern Time

Starting over is always easier among strangers. For Ford Carson, the process meant leaving behind the waves of South Florida in order to forge a new life as a visual artist in the mountains of North Carolina. At the peak of his reinvention, he meets Grace Burnett—a young, wealthy Texas transplant in the midst of her own transformation. A mutual infatuation develops. But when Grace’s estranged husband arrives complications ensue. Matters only worsen when Ford’s own estranged son announces plans to visit for his eighteenth birthday. Thomas Calder’s debut novel explores the lasting impact of broken bonds and the unanticipated ways the past haunts those on the run.
