My virtual book tour for “Fractures” was over in a blink––thank you to everyone who showed up during this strange & stressful time to celebrate with me.
If you couldn’t make any of the events, here are 2 of my favorites that you can watch––
“When Lightning Strikes”: https://bit.ly/2VvUiZM
Last night’s closing event w/ Elizabeth Acevedo: https://bit.ly/33HQhpT
Finally, let me serve notice now that I 100% plan to do an in-person “Fractures” Book Tour in 2021.
I’m aiming for late-August, early September (depending on how everything progresses with the pandemic & vaccines, etc.), & I’m planning for it to be the most epic and redemptive celebration of anything I’ve ever done.
With tremendous gratitude to these bookstores, venues, & festivals that have supported my work in the past, let me plant the seed now: I plan to see you in person in 2021
Next Chapter Booksellers, Ebenezer Books, Greenlight Bookstore, Busboys and Poets, A Cappella Books, A Different Booklist, Penn Book Center, Harvard Book Store, Books on the Square, Elliott Bay Book Company, Book Passage, Lake Forest Book Store, Two-Doors East, Georgia Center for the Book at DCPL, Books & Books,
&
Bradford Literature Festival, Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, International Poetry Festival of Medellin, If Walls Could Talk, George Town Literary Festival, axis: Ballymun, Brooklyn Book Festival, Bowery Poetry Club, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, & so many more…
If you’ve ever hosted me for something (over these past 19 years and 7 months of touring), IT IS ON in 2021…so much to come on the other side of this.
Please stay safe & take care of yourself until then.
Much love,
Carlos
