This Book Release Party celebrates the release of Gabriel Ramirez’s inaugural chapbook “If Pit Bulls had a God It’d Be a Pit Bull,” published by local women-owned bookstore and small press, The Head & The Hand as part of the Riverwards Chapbook Series, which was supported by Penn Treaty Special Services District and PECO Powering the Arts! The program includes a poetry showcase of the author’s closest friends and colleagues as well as a reading of the chapbook by Gabriel Ramirez. The author will also have a book signing before and after the readings. All artists, including the DJ who is also performing a song, have volunteered their time and artistry.
