Come see the fabulous Jennifer Militello this Thursday February 5th! Event starts at 6:30PM at Gibson's Bookstore 45 S Main St
Concord, NH 03301.

🧪UPCOMING POETRY EVENT🧪

This Thursday, February 5th at 6:30pm, NH Poet Laureate Jennifer Militello celebrates the launch of her newest book, Identifying the Pathogen: An Inquiry.

Identifying the Pathogen is a hybrid collection blending historical research and contemporary essays to consider the nature of oppressive marriage and gender inequity.

Composed as a lab notebook recording various surgeries, autopsies, and experiments, Identifying the Pathogen tells the story of a scientist on an obsessive quest to document an ailment that resists classification. The book considers the body in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is woven through with the story of Anna Morandi Manzolini—an eighteenth-century Italian anatomist and artist who struggled to support a husband suffering from depression—as well as several accounts detailing a ruptured appendix, a splintered cello, and an ill-fated rock climbing excursion.

Mark your calendars and join us for an evening of poetry with Jennifer Militello on Thursday, February 5th at 6:30pm.
