AUTHORS IN CONVERSATION with Julie Fitzpatrick and Jen Payne

Authors in Conversation: Poets Julie Fitzpatrick and Jen Payne Consider Sleeping with Ghosts at Breakwater Books, October 13!
Guilford performer and poet Julie Fitzpatrick returns to Breakwater Books for an Authors in Conversation event on Sunday, October 13 at 5:00 pm featuring Branford poet Jen Payne’s new book Sleeping with Ghosts. Join them for a convivial exploration of the ghosts and stories from the book. In additional to reading poems from the book, the two — who recently collaborated on Fitzpatrick’s book Church on the Screen — will no doubt talk about the creative process and the experience of making books.
Sleeping with Ghosts, published by Three Chairs Publishing, is Payne’s fifth book. Known for her meditations and musings about our outside world, she takes readers inside this time…into the heart and mind of a poet, where memories wander, hearts break, and ghosts appear in dreams. Those ghosts — her lovers, soulmates, and muses — reveal themselves slowly, chapter by chapter, in this wistfully reflective, time-traveling memoir that Branford Poet Laureate Judith Liebmann, Ph.D. calls “Beautifully crafted and luminous…an intimate and unforgettable journey of love found and lost, the joys of creativity, and the power of memory.”
