Author Event! Lori Kirkland's "Tucked in Flowers: Hidden in Plain Sight"

Join us as we welcome local poet and founder of Pawtucket Poetry, Lori Kirkland, who will be reading from her poetry collection, Tucked in Flowers: Hidden in Plain Sight.

About the book:

Truth is a heavy burden to hear so we hide it inside us. Many live their entire lives never able to tell. The need to be seen however sneaks out in disguises like memories tucked in flowers hidden in plain sight. Posts on social media, pictures and poems documenting lived experiences without explicit details are now exposed. This collection of poems tells the story of what happens when everything comes to light. The journey of self-love leading to a love of a lifetime, a happy ending. What once was hidden is now on display as a beautiful bouquet.
