Join me, Troy Osaki, and Sunu Chandy in person at Open Books in Seattle for a celebration of Sunu’s excellent debut poetry collection My Dear Comrades. Sunu and I were part of the Unicorn Authors Club together, and I’m amazed that our schedules aligned to allow this event to happen. I’m further amazed that Troy was also available to part of this reading, it will be my first reading with not one but two stellar poets who are also attorneys. Beautiful poetry and prose and conversations about art and social justice will be had.
I’ll be reading an excerpt from NERVOUS, and we’ll be having a conversation about each others’ work followed by a Q&A and book signing.

Image description: A graphic for the book event “NERVOUS and MY DEAR COMRADES by Sunu Chandy, Featuring Troy Osaki, at Open Books.” At the top left is the text-based logo for Open Books, which reads, “Open Books A Poem Emporium” in all caps and a red font. Next to the logo, it reads, “Seattle, WA, Oct. 10, 2023, 7-8PM.” Below that, in a teal colored bar, it reads, “Reading and discussion” on the top line, and then below that, “Sunu P. Chandy with Jen Soriano and Troy Osaki.” Below that are photos of Soriano, Chandy, and Osaki, in that order from left to right. Soriano is smiling softly as she looks directly at the camera. Her black hair is swept to the side, and she is wearing a white short-sleeved blouse and red lipstick. Next to her photo is a cover of NERVOUS. Chandy’s photo is black and white. In it, she is smiling widely as she looks at the camera. Next to her photo is a copy of her book “My Dear Comrades.” In Osaki’s photo, his face is angled, and he is looking pensively to the side. He is wearing a black T-shirt, and has short black hair. Below his photo, it reads, “Poet, Attorney & Organizer.”
