I have the great good fortune of heading to Orono, Maine this weekend for the rassemblement, a gathering of Franco American artists, writers, and culture-workers hosted by the Franco American Center of the University of Maine. This annual event provides an invaluable space for us to cultivate Franco culture by sharing our work with one another, and I’ve learned so much over the years from the community that gathers there.

This year’s gathering offers a special opportunity for me to express my gratitude, as we’ll be celebrating the launch of my new book, Piecework / Travail à la pièce, a bilingual collection of my two solo plays, available now from the University of Maine Press. This free event will feature music, readings, performances, and lots of laughter. If you’re in the area, please join us!

Saturday, April 5, 6:30pm
Blackbox Theater, Class of 1944 Hall
University of Maine, Orono

The Orono event kicks off a whole series of book launch events around northern New England, happening in April and May. Please get in touch if you’d like to plan an event in your community!
