The Obituary Cocktail lives again. Gin. Vermouth. Absinthe. A drink that “screams October” and channels the dark humor of New Orleans. See author @SueStrachan504 at @LABookFest in Baton Rouge on Nov. 1 as she celebrates her new book "The Obituary Cocktail." bit.ly/4nAE6Sy #TheObituaryCocktail #NewOrleans #DeepSouthMAG #CocktailHistory #SouthernLit #LouisianaBookFestival #FallReads

My first time at the @LABookFest! Truly enjoyed moderating the panel on White Supremacy, Civil Rights & Violence: Being Black in the American South.

That's a beautiful bunch of poets! Wish I could've been there to hear you all!
