Poetry Book Launch for Sara Letourneau a Success

Over 30 people attended the launch party for a new poetry book by Franklin's Sara Letourneau. The event ran from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 14 at Love Your Shelf bookstore in Bellingham, which also stocks the book

"The launch party was a blast," said Letourneau, and "a very surreal and emotional experience, for sure." She said she had read her work for people at open mics and other events before, "but this one was special." She said that afterward,  people kept telling her during the book signing, and even now, days later, how much they enjoyed the reading and how much they're looking forward to savoring Wild Gardens on their own time. "Now I'm excited to hear what they think of the book," she added.

Letourneau said she has several readings scheduled to promote Wild Gardens over the coming weeks and months, including:
