Where: Set & Setting @artportal_louisville, 1512 Portland Avenue

Theme: Family, Gender, & Midwest Malaise

Praise for Bloodroom:
Kay E. Bancroft makes me want to be brave—to be able to watch horror movies with my eyes open and to shake up language until only sincerity remains. Get ready to experience Bloodroom, a work that is part poetry collection, part museum exhibit, and part science experiment. You will walk away from this book a whole new creature.

–Paige Lewis, author of Space Struck & Canon
