Welcome, Katrina Denza!

Saturday 2/28 at 2:00pm join us for a discussion of Burner: And Other Stories with Joanna Pearson

Katrina Denza writes women in conflict: attempting to woo a man via a burner phone, subscribing to a hologram service to speak to a deceased husband, confronting the frustrations of being an artist, reckoning with mistakes made as a mother and much more. Wrestling with connections and disconnections, highs and lows, and the vagaries of modernity, Burner and Other Stories shows us how we live today.
