About the Book:
Part coming-of-age memoir and part 1940s film noir jail-break, Midwestern Death Trip combines the thrill of the open road amid a haunted landscape of back-woods diners and small-town bar tops. A speed demon’s encounter with the depths of American loneliness from the Hunter Thompson of the 2020s.

About the Author:
Chicago writer Meaghan Garvey has made her bones as one of America's funniest and most astute music critics in her profiles and essays for The New York Times, Billboard, New York Magazine, County Highway, Pitchfork, and GQ. She's also the writer of the dark, unsparing, and wildly popular Substack "Scary Cool Sad Goodbye".

Tonight! Join us at Pegasus Books Downtown at 7pm for a book launch and group reading celebrating the release of Amie Zimmerman’s poetry collection, “False Spring” from Roof Books.

Zimmerman will be joined by beloved poets Wendy Trevino, Rosie Stockton, and Amy De’Ath for an evening of poetry readings. See you there!

“Unreserved and unsparing, Zimmerman’s debut full-length collection, “False Spring”, engages the quiet and weight of one’s conscience in the present moment…Beautiful and timely, Zimmerman questions one’s ability to change the character of a nation and its people, when we know its character.” – m.s.
