- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 29 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 29 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: For April's book club, we'll be reading Hedgie Choi's Salvage

Part blasphemous prayer, part stand-up comedy, wholly unique, this breathtaking collection is by turns devastating, funny, and startling. Whether the site of exploration is Star Trek, Leonard Cohen, roadkill, or etymology, sublime bewilderment rubs shoulders with half-buried humiliations and accidental salvations. The voice in these poems tenderly and tenaciously inquires into how to survive—not how to survive violence but how to survive surviving. Choi is the rare poet who can elicit laughter, sober reflection, and wry bemusement all within the space of a few lines—or sometimes only one. This is a collection that you can read through in a single sitting, then return to again and again.

Hedgie Choi is the translator of Pillar of Books by Moon Bo Young and the cotranslator of Hysteria by Kim Yideum, which won the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize and the National Translation Award. Her poetry can be found in Poetry, Catapult, West Branch, and elsewhere. Her fiction can be found in NOON, American Short Fiction, The Hopkins Review, and elsewhere. 

Salvage will be 25% off through March! Join us at the shop on April 29 at 7pm for beer, wine, snacks, and book discussion.
