We are still thinking about all of the ways UNDEAD grapples with the task of living on the other side of death. Madeline Vosch and Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles in conversation was truly a special night at Deep Vellum. It truly underscored the ways in which texts, both spiritual and literary, are part of shaping and deconstructing our relationship with existence.

Come pick up your copy of Vosch’s powerful memoir at the store!

BOOK LAUNCH
Join us in celebrating the book launch of RABBIT, FOX, TAR () the debut novel from Dallas author P.C. Verrone. .the.carroll will be joined in conversation by , an artist, educator, historian and futurist whose work brings historical context to issues of race and place.

Described as a “mesmerizing, fable-like novel about a mysterious young Black woman whose arrival in an insular neighborhood threatens to shake its foundations,” RABBIT, FOX, TAR brings readers into a community still grappling with the reverberating consequences of a highway project that leveled a Black neighborhood decades prior.

The evening will begin with a screening of Alan Govenar’s short film, DEEP ELLUM BLUES (1985), which explores night life in Deep Ellum in the early 20th century, prior to the construction of the Central Expressway which severed the neighborhood.

We will see you on Tuesday, June 2 at 7:00 PM! Details at link it bio.
