Arielle Hebert with Tracy Dimond and Steven Leyva: BOTTOM FEEDERS

We’re launching Arielle Hebert’s vibrant, gritty debut poetry collection, Bottom Feeders and you’re invited!

Join us for an evening with the author and two Baltimore poets, Tracy Dimond and Steven Leyva, as they read poems in celebration of the new book.

Bottom Feeders is a queer coming-of-age collection set in late 2000s Florida, during the height of the opioid epidemic. Here, overdoses, red tide blooms and hurricanes are as much a part of growing up as fleeting teenage desires, beach parties and prom. Despite the long shadows cast over these poems, there is beauty, friendship, chosen family, and hope in this collection.
