Mnemosynes is proud to welcome Skye Jackson to our Paris stage for a reading and conversation about her first book, Libre, and her upcoming projects. Please join us on Saturday, June 11th from 14h-16h at Rerenga Wines (3 rue de la Fidélité) to hear from this lyric stung with the gentle grit of the text-city from which it is born and of the (Parisian) places in which it seeks, in vain, some refuge. A discussion with the poet will follow the reading.
