An Evening with Poet Kate Baer featuring "How About Now"

Renowned poet Kate Baer returns with How About Now, a bold and compassionate new collection that captures the beauty—and ache—of change.

With her signature honesty and lyricism, Baer explores what it means to grow older, release our children into their own lives, and reclaim who we are in the process. These poems shimmer with intimacy and truth, confronting the passage of time while celebrating the resilience, humor, and heart that carry us forward.

Join us for a powerful evening of poetry and conversation as Baer shares her latest work—one that speaks to anyone navigating transformation, aging, and self-discovery in a shifting world. Baer will be joined in conversation with the Ticker's head writer Beth Milligan.

📖 How About Now goes on sale November 4, 2025.
Doors: 6:00 PM
Show: 7:00 PM
Evening includes a conversation with Beth Milligan, audience Q&A, and a book signing line. Signed books are only available at the in-person event.
