The Flower Bearers: Rachel Eliza Griffiths in Conversation with Joël Díaz

Join The Clifton House on Feb 13th for an intimate conversation with Rachel Eliza Griffiths in celebration of her latest book, The Flower Bearers.

In her captivating and emotionally resonant memoir, Rachel Eliza mines the voices that echo in the shadows. Oscillating between gorgeousness and grief, she traces the defining and altering moments of her life. The Flower Bearers is resplendent and reckons with what is seemingly inexplicable; what results is a daring body of work that maps and pays homage to the enduring loves that mark and make evidence of the vast and blooming being that is Rachel Eliza Griffiths.
