Maze Books is closed today so you should go see Rachel and Adam in conversation at Inkwell. 11:30 am.

Author Rachel León (How We See the Gray) will now be joined in conversation by Adam al-Sirgany (Rockford Poet Laureate, SFWP editor, and author of More Hell)

Together, they’ll discuss Rachel’s novel, the writing and publication process, and the stories behind the work.

This is truly a special opportunity for our Rockton community to connect with two incredible voices from our regional literary scene!
