Parisian Phoenix Publishing

Yesterday, poet and filmmaker McKenna Graf promoted her sophomore poetry volume, Mortals, Myths and Maybes, at her hometown public library (Bernards Township) in Basking Ridge, N.J.

Decked out in a “What’s More Punk Than a Public Library?” t-shirt, McKenna read five poems from the poem and then had a fireless fire side chat with staff from the library. About twenty local teenagers and two of McKenna’s former teachers asked her questions about her path to publication and her writing process.

McKenna sold copies of her books and also had some of her custom poetry boxes available. Her next appearance will be Thursday, August 22 at 6 p.m. at the Barnes and Noble in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

If you want to order your copy of McKenna’s Mortals, Myths and Maybes, you can order from Amazon (click here), Barnes & Noble (click here), Bookshop.org (click here), or ask your local independent bookseller to custom order it for you.

In the Lehigh Valley, the book is on the shelf at Barnes and Noble Bethlehem Township in the Southmont Shopping Center or at Blue Flame Events Retail Store in the Palmer Park Mall. And before the start of the fall semester, it should be on the shelf in the Lafayette College Store.
