Strays Pack Six will officially launch September 17 at Fitz Books in Buffalo, New York. The party will start at 7pm with readings beginning at 7:30. Poets Noah Falck and Canese Jarboe will perform live, and we’ll debut a pre-recorded video of D.A. Powell reading his entire Stray, “Low-Hanging Fruit.”
Fitz is an eclectic and welcoming independent bookstore at 433 Ellicott Street in downtown Buffalo. We’ve been to several great readings and events there since it opened in 2020 and we’ve been waiting for an opportunity to throw a party of our own. If you can make it, you’ll enjoy Fitz’s tastefully curated collection (look for other Foundlings titles!), the tranquility of the store’s back deck and performance area, and hot Liege waffles from owner and griddle-master Aaron Bartley.
Strays Pack Six
Launched in January 2020, the Strays series comprises packs of original “stray” poetry, with three poets in each pack. Strays have included sequences, experiments, crowns, scraps, fragments, miscellanea, and more.
Pack Six features poets Noah Falck, Canese Jarboe, and D.A. Powell. The pack is available for pre-order now. We’ll ship mid-September.
