Blas Falconer will read from his new book of poetry,
The Foundling Wheel
Centered on the adoption of a gay couple’s first child, The Foundling Wheel employs apt
imagery to create an emotional mosaic that explores the complicated bond between father
and son. Beginning in a place where the desire to have a child has not yet been realized, this
book is a journey, and while the poems certainly rejoice in fatherhood, they also grapple with
the fears that accompany it.
