Image of a pan-Asian femme presenting person with dark brown hair and glasses, in a chocolate brown sweater and black pants, standing in front of a black mic stand reading from Blood Belies: a collection of poetry.

Blood Belies, Bad Weather Mammals, and Heliotropia, three poetry collections, featured on a dark brown wood cashier’s counter. Miscellaneous books, stickers, holiday knick-knacks behind and to the right side of the photograph.

What an absolutely wonderful evening, reading with #AshleyElizabethBest and @manahil.bsky.social at Books & Company in Picton. Thank you #AssemblyPress for having us!
