Audreys Books presents Poets Chris Pannell and Marita Dachsel reading from their new collections,

Drive and All Things Said & Done

Wednesday, October 21 at 7:30 pm

Marita Dachsel’s debut collection, All Things Said & Done, is a visceral exploration of the moments of life that stand out in the pages of a family album and the intervals of memory. She playfully and poignantly documents first crushes, first times, weddings and trips across town, across water, and across continents.

In the sure and tender poetry found in his new book, Drive, Chris Pannell looks into the rearview mirror of his bus - and his life - to celebrate the humanity of his passengers, and himself. From speaking with kidney dialysis patients, to driving sleeping teenagers home, Pannell’s poems engage the reader with his empathic view of our world in elegantly constructed verse.
