Tom Batchelder Studio, ICB Building, 480 Gate 5 Road, 2nd Floor, Suite 210 Sausalito CA 94965
A reading from the new collection in the studio of Tom Batchelder, whose paintings appear throughout the book and whose work will be on the walls that afternoon. The studio closes at the end of August. This is one of the last afternoons the studio will be open.
Love Letters to the Cosmos moves through desire, love across lifetimes, and heartbreak. Lovers arrive as constellations, longing carries the weight of ancient memory, and the poems reach toward whatever it is that keeps drawing two people back into the same orbit. It is a book of eros and lineage, written as an incantation.
Books available for purchase at the reading, $25.00.
Tom’s paintings can be found at thomasbatchelder.com
