Click here to preorder the book. Preorders are not required to attend the reading, but if you want to be sure to snag a copy, please do preorder as quantities are limited.

mourning pages I by Rosie Pringle is a poetic hybrid reflection of the ongoing grief of missing their (very cool) mother. Told with both raw grief and humor alongside each other, mourning pages I is the first in a series of celebration of Susan Pringle--queer parent, wife, drag king, and all-around cool guy. The poems and illustrations within are sure to resonate with those who have lost parents too soon.

We would love for you to be there with us, celebrating Susan and all lost loved ones with humor and community. We will have snacks and a poetry reading from the author. Come hear about what Hammer & Hemlock is up to this year and our forthcoming projects!
