Event Details

Join multi-hyphenate artist Gill Sotu for the launch and celebration of his debut book of performance and page poetry, Equally Strange, Beautifully Different.

Gill’s first solo collection celebrates our differences while seeking out the things that hold us together. It’s meant to be read out loud, with spirit, and with a goal to touch, challenge, and light up something inside readers. Audience Q&A will follow. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
