About the Event
Please join us to celebrate the release of Derailleur Press's first book, Violet Mints!
Violet Mints, a poetry collection by Jo Longley, is a collection of almost-love poems that explores the space between connections as they form, and deconstructs those connections as they form poorly. Raw, vulnerable, and largely sad, Violet Mints leaves a taste in your mouth you can’t help but question—only to go back for more again and again.
There will be wine, giveaways, and most importantly, copies of Violet Mints for sale!
Jo Longley has an MFA in Creative Writing from Kingston University in London. Her work has been published by The Enemies Project, Confingo, Anapest, and Rue Scribe among others. She was the 2016 editor of Ripple Magazine, and is a co-editor of and key contributor to The Three Magazine.
