Join us for the launch of why not again a love story by Prajna Desai published by Planta Baja Press. The chapbook-length poem is a meditation on the molecular and narrative forces of language/text as the locus for human engagement -- sexual, intellectual, political.

Prajna will do a reading of some excerpts from the work, followed by a conversation with the writer J.A. Gibson.

Prajna Desai is an art historian and writer of fiction.
