Holy Cow! Press Publication Reading with Roseann Lloyd

Roseann Lloyd's new poetry collection, The Boy Who Slept Under the Stars, takes us on a sister’s unflinching exploration into grief for a brother lost on a solo hike in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, in northern Minnesota. His clothes are found but not his body. How does one mourn without a body? This absence calls up memories of his life and mixed emotions; it evokes other disappearances—children missing in Iraq, climbers lost on Everest, a college student drowned.

“This is a book about that place inside us all where bafflement meets mystery: a strange place, sometimes frightening and sometimes filled with stars and pines, clear flowing water and the deep joy of companionship." —Jim Moore

"Roseann Lloyd is doing what poets have always been charged to do - take chances. The form is bending under the fine hand of a craftsman who loves her work." —Nikki Giovanni

THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
