Join authors Jill Bialosky (The End Is the Beginning: A Personal History of My Mother) and Philip Schultz (Enormous Morning)!

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Jill Bialosky and Philip Schultz to discuss the stories and poems that we create when inspired by our mothers. We're also celebrating the paperback release Bialosky's book, The End is the Beginning; a lyrical portrait of her mother’s life told in reverse order from burial to birth, and the release of Schultz's poetry collection, Enormous Morning, which examines the lives and sacrifices of his foremothers.

Doors open at 6:30pm with the talk starting closer to 7pm. Come early and grab a drink from the P&T Cafe!

Tickets and books are available both on eventbrite and at the door.
