Four Way Books presents authors Tommye Blount, Brian Komei Dempster, Elizabeth T. Gray Jr., and Luke Hankins. This event is free but please RSVP here. You will then receive an email on the day of the event with URL and password you’ll need to attend. Like most of our events, this event is free. If you decide to attend and to purchase the authors’ books, we ask that you purchase from Malaprop’s. When you do this you are supporting our work and keeping more dollars in our community. If you would like to support us without purchasing a book, you may purchase a gift card or make a donation of any amount. Thank you!
