About this Event
Pieces: An Intimate Poetry Reading Series
Some stories are too layered for a single telling. This one was written in pieces.
Pieces: An Intimate Reading Series is a traveling literary gathering built around one book, one voice, and honest conversation. The first stop sold out. This is the second.
On April 30, author B.M. Fannell brings her debut memoir-in-poems to Busboys & Poets in Shirlington to close out National Poetry Month the way it deserves — with poetry that is honest, a conversation that goes somewhere real, and a room full of people willing to be present for it.
Pieces follows one woman's journey through love, loss, faith, and the slow work of becoming whole. It is the kind of book that meets readers in their own story.
This is not a performance. It is an invitation.
Brandi will read selections from Pieces, share the stories behind the poems, and open the floor for honest, moderated conversation. The evening closes with a book signing and time to connect.
What to expect: Live poetry reading from Pieces Moderated discussion and audience Q&A Book signing and conversation. Full bar and menu available for purchase through Busboys & Poets.
