Happy Monday, Fabulous Listener!

Thank you so much for joining us for our weeklong celebration for our brand-new season. It is truly a pleasure bringing you these amazing authors and incredible books each week. We are back on our regular Monday night schedule. This evening we have the pleasure of chatting with the talented and prolific Novelist-Poet, Gume Laurel III. We are discussing his new book, Sansom and Domingo, a verse novel that will captivate you.

Gume is a Texan, native to the Rio Grande Valley on the southernmost border. For the past decade, he has dedicated himself to crafting literary works that promote inclusion and showcase diverse characters with intersectional identities.

The bulk of Gume’s writings are focused on underrepresented groups, especially those from the communities he is a part of: Latin and queer. When he isn’t writing, Gume can be found getting lost on a hiking trail with his dogs Blu and Mouse. To learn more about his books and poems, you can find it all on his website at https://gumelaurel.com/.

Happy Listening, DC
