Join us and local poet Carroll Beauvais as we celebrate the launch of Preverbal, Carroll's debut collection of poems. How does trauma shape us? What is memory but a flawed attempt to set the record straight so we can live with it? How do we give voice to what is mostly whispered in the dark? How do we go on? These are the questions, and Carroll Beauvais has the answers.
