Thanks to everyone who came out to the book tour for Flowers in Autumn!
This 75-page coffee table book is a collection of poems, observations and paintings by Patrick Riviere & Gen Riviere. The poetry reflects the author's love of nature and for his family, friends and partners, but also addresses his battles with loss and depression. Spattered with his late mother Gen's remarkable paintings in full color (that seem to support his writing) the book affects a variety of the senses.
Charles Dickens classic story about Ebenezer Scrooge and his Christmas-Eve visit with three spirits gets an update and an edit, making this 10-minute adaptation a great bedtime story or holiday play to be acted out at home or at school.
