“In all these rich, juicy, poignant, joyous, heartbreaking, and hope-filled works do I bid you: come, sit a while, and enjoy.”
- The Rev. Pauli Reese, Union Theological Seminary
Join us to celebrate the launch of Motorway Service Station Blues, the debut poetry collection by bea wohl.
Bea Wohl’s debut collection, Motorway Service Station Blues and Other Poems, explores life’s liminal spaces – the in-between places of becoming and transition. From the windswept plains of Wyoming to the quiet heart of Cumbria, these poems take the reader on a journey of reflection and discovery.
Emerging from the ashes of sorrow and grief, they illuminate how, through life’s changes, we learn to spread our wings and take flight. Wohl’s poems speak to coming to terms with loss, learning to forgive, and finding the extraordinary in the everyday – even in a fleeting stop at a motorway service station, whether for a few minutes or a few nights in a Travelodge.
Ultimately triumphant, this is a book about finding strength invisibly – and taking pride in being seen.
Expect poetry, conversation, and celebration, with opportunities to ask questions, purchase signed launch edition copies, and raise a glass with the author and the Reconnecting Rainbows Press community. This is a fully accessible venue in the very heart of London's Covent Garden.
