On a Bed of Gardenias: Jane & Paul Bowles, Karren Alenier’s sixth collection of poetry, unfolds the exotic love story of Jane Auer and Paul Bowles, two American expatriate writers considered to be the precursors of the American Beats. Karren’s got an off-site reading and a book signing at the Kattywompus Press Booth #721 of the AWP book fair in Chicago next week, linked below.
