Through lush, intimate poems, Woods creates a world where desire, tenderness, sensuality, and connection are not rare or conditional, but abundant and inevitale. The book is not a promise of romance, but an offering: a reminder that belief itself can soften the present, even when love has yet to arrive.About The AuthorLonnie Woods III (he/him) is a poet, visual artist, digital creator, educator, and arts administrator based in New York City whose work lives at the intersection of identity, self-worth, and creative expression.Event DetailsTuesday, March 03, 20267:00 pm - 9:00pm (Doors open at 6:45pm)NYU Production Lab, 16 Washington Pl.
