P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Kiran Bath to celebrate the release of her debut poetry collection, Instructions for Banno — a book threading timelines and geographies of the women in Bath's family to understand the inherited consequences of becoming a South Asian bride (banno) — with a discussion, audience Q&A, and book signing!
Kiran will be joined in conversation with critically acclaimed poet Raena Shirali. After the talk, Kiran will sign copies of Instructions for Banno.
