Join us to celebrate the launch of My Bourgeois Apocalypse, a new poetry collection by Helen Rickerby.
Friday 13 March
7pm
The Guest Room, out the back of the Southern Cross Garden Bar Restaurant
39 Abel Smith Street
Te Aro, Wellington
The book will be launched by Anna Jackson, with a reading by Helen.
In the spirit of the collection’s hybrid collage-essay-memoir form, this is a launch-cum-dance party, with music featured in the book playing throughout the night (mostly from the 80s). So bring your dancing shoes!
Books will be available for purchase on the night thanks to Unity Wellington.
