Tombolo Books and the City of Writers Poetry Festival invite you to kickoff National Poetry Month in Tombolo's Courtyard with award-winning author Ross Gay!

We can think of no better way to start April and National Poetry Month than with a reading and conversation with poet and essayist Ross Gay!

Ross Gay is interested in joy.

Ross Gay wants to understand joy.

Ross Gay is curious about joy.

Ross Gay studies joy. And he is bringing that joy right to our courtyard!

Let us know we will see you there! Please RSVP!

This event is presented in partnership with the City of St. Petersburg, Florida Humanities, St. Pete Youth Farm, and St. Petersburg Poet Laureate, Gloria Muñoz.
