Join us for an afternoon signing with three wonderful local authors: Caroline Weeks, Danny Bedrosian, & Evangelina Barineau!
ABOUT CAROLINE WEEKS
Caroline Weeks is a poet and writer from South Georgia. She holds a degree in English Literature from New York University and uses it more often than you’d think. She has worked as an elementary and middle school English tutor, copywriter, grant writer, and in roles across marketing and communications, all her work united by her love of language. Signs and Wonders is her first book.
ABOUT SIGNS AND WONDERS
A chapbook of poems about coming of age, making meaning of family history, and searching for the divine in the hidden splendors of rural South Georgia.
"With their unflinching lyricism, the poems in Signs and Wonders detail an Evangelical adolescence in rural Georgia with both honesty and compassion, not to mention just the right amount of humor. Whether it’s a baptism in a stock tank, a mock talk show at the dinner table, or a demon hunched over a cat food bowl, the moments Caroline Weeks crafts invite the reader into this world. But unlike much other writing about religious upbringings, the speaker of these poems seems to neither glorify nor condemn it but simply asks the reader to sit and be present in the moments with her. And, oh, what wonderful moments they are."
- Jennifer Schomburg Kanke, author of The Swellest Wife Anyone Ever Had
ABOUT DANNY BEDROSIAN
Danny Bedrosian is the keyboardist for George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic and author of The Authorized P-Funk Song Reference (Rowman & Littlefield 2023) and Make My Funk the P-Funk: Parliament-Funkadelic's Meteoric Rise in 1975 from Chocolate City to Mothership Connection (Bloomsbury Academic 2025).

ABOUT SONS OF THE SUN
Danny Bedrosian is the writer, editor and conceptualist behind the Armenian history themed Sons of the Sun Comic book series. Each issue is a self contained story, so one does not have to have all the issues to understand the plots. Delving into Mythology, adventure, romance, war, and much more, the Sons of the Sun stories are packed with Epic storytelling, thousands of years of rarely told historical stories, and great action!) His newest issues (#4 released late in 2025, and #0 released earlier in 2026) are available now.
ABOUT EVANGELINA BARINEAU
Hi! My name is Evangelina Barineau. I’m a Tallahassee local with a love for personal growth and creative writing, namely poetry. My poems mean a lot to me, and I hope they may mean a lot to you.
The intent of me writing these poems: to cope, to regulate, to process. My emotions and I haven’t always gotten along. Writing poetry helps me one. get out of my head and two. alchemize my pain into something meaningful.
The intent of me sharing these poems: to remind others they are not alone in the world and the sun still shines even if it can’t be seen.
