My Heresies: Book Talk & Signing with Alina Stefanescu
Ernest & Hadley Booksellers
Thursday, July 31, 2025

5:30 PM – 7:00 PM

Get tickets: space is limited.

Join us at Ernest & Hadley Booksellers for an evening of poetry, conversation, and literary exploration with acclaimed author and poet Alina Stefanescu, as she presents her highly anticipated new collection, My Heresies.

In this searing and luminous work, Stefanescu delves into the complicated intersections of belief, longing, and grief. The poems of My Heresies trace a lyrical journey from Bucharest, Romania to Birmingham, Alabama, weaving together personal and familial histories with myth, memory, and a fierce reverence for language.

Whether reimagining biblical mythologies with sardonic edge or echoing the ghost-notes of Paul Celan, Stefanescu's poetry is both lush and austere, rich in imagery and laden with subtext. Her collection is a meditation on womanhood, family, exile, and the sacred spaces where longing and loss entwine.

My Heresies will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

Admission is free, but space is limited. Reserve your spot today and join us for an unforgettable evening of poetry and conversation.
