book release celebration
Celebrate the Release of Do You Still Cry About Your Dead Cat?
Ocote Libre Press invites you to celebrate the release of Do You Still Cry About Your Dead Cat?, a new poetry collection by San José poet José-Ariel Cuevas.
Join us for a Sunday afternoon filled with poetry, conversation, community, and plenty of San José nostalgia. Cuevas’s collection moves through grief, memory, humor, and the places and people that stay with us long after they are gone.
Come cry about your dead cat—or reminisce about the good old days of 90s San José.
