Scarlet Ibis James presents Beyond First Glance

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Scarlet Ibis James to celebrate and discuss her new book Beyond First Glance; spanning Ghana, Trinidad, and North America, these character-driven narratives examine love as choice, effort, and maintenance rather than fantasy.

Scarlet will be in conversation Dana Marie Ingraham, and will be signing books after the talk!

Doors open at 6:30pm with the talk starting closer to 7pm. Come early and grab a drink from the !

Both tickets and books are available on eventbrite and at the door.
