Ed Doyle-Gillespie: "The Slow Lament of Dying Ice"
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
In this new collection of poems by E. Doyle-Gillespie, Gillespie once again demonstrates how he is truly a master of his craft. Each poem in The Slow Lament of Dying Ice will transport the reader to smoke-filled cafes, shadowy conversations whispered over glasses of crimson wine, and cobbled stones leading the reader to stories they'll never forget.
