February Poetry Book Club at Petals & Pages

This month we're reading Life of the Party by Olivia Gatwood.

Book clubs are free if you buy the book from us (for 10% off!) or $5 if you buy the book elsewhere. If purchasing a ticket with the book, your book will be available for in-store pickup within approximately 5 days of your order.

About the book: Lauded for the power of her writing and having attracted an online fan base of millions for her extraordinary spoken-word performances, Olivia Gatwood now weaves together her own coming-of-age with an investigation into our culture’s romanticization of violence against women. At times blistering and riotous, at times soulful and exuberant, Life of the Party explores the boundary between what is real and what is imagined in a life saturated with fear. Gatwood asks, How does a girl grow into a woman in a world racked by violence? Where is the line between perpetrator and victim? In precise, searing language, she illustrates how what happens to our bodies can make us who we are.
