Fog and Smoke
Book Launch and Signing with Professor Katie Peterson

Thursday, February 15
4:30–6 PM

Join us for Professor Katie Peterson’s official Davis book launch of her new collection of poetry, Fog and Smoke. Written in the wake of the pandemic, Fog and Smoke describes how the movement of fog and the threat of smoke orient and disorient ordinary life. It’s also a California book that follows one family through the confusions of COVID, the sorrow of climate grief, and the delights of early childhood. Peterson will read from the collection, followed by a Q&A. She will be introduced by Associate Professor Margaret Ronda, author of two award-winning collections of poetry.

Organized by the Creative Writing Program in the Department of English. Co-sponsored by the Manetti Shrem Museum.
