Gratitude for the Grieving

At Shakespeare & Company

Innere Stadt, Wien

"shelves packed to the ceiling" in the coziest shop
"cute cat bookmarks a perfect little souvenir"
Somma also teaches meditation and emotional intelligence

Fifty poems that sit with grief instead of fixing it, finding gratitude along the way. Abigail Somma reads from her collection in a crammed, wood-lined English bookshop on a quiet Vienna lane.

Friday, November 27, 2pm
