Dasha Kelly Presents Baker's Dozen

About this event

Join us at Subtext Bookstore on Thursday, December 3rd at 7 PM for an event with Wisconsin Poet Laureate Dasha Kelly, discussing her recent release Baker's Dozen with local artist and journalist, Robert Taliaferro Jr. Shay Baker—daughter, close friend, photographer—suddenly takes her own life, the ghosts of unanswered questions and unresolved feelings haunting those who survive her. Left in her wake is a series of mysterious photos and letters, some sent to key figures in her life, others to only passing relationships. One recipient, Royal, cannot square what he knew of Shay with her ultimate end, and resolves to stitch together insights from others chosen by her, setting off a sequence of revelations each more shocking than the last. Part mystery, part study of our shared lessons on desire, Baker's Dozen reveals and unravels grief, family history, and the ties that bind. "Dasha pulls off the magic trick every writer chases: she makes you fall in love with her characters.... I write TV
