Please join us for a very special literary event celebrating ANYBODY HOME? (Blue Edge, 2023), the poetry debut from Kay Cosgrove. This event is made possible thanks to donations from our annual fundraiser. The poems in Kay Cosgrove’s first collection are driven by curiosity – about herself, the world, and her place in it.
