Join Foundlings Press for the official launch of Goodness Gracious, a poetry chapbook by Nicholas Molbert, winner of the 2018 Wallace Award.

Foundlings will host an informal afterparty at the Central Park Grill, a short walk down Main St. from the reading venue.
About Nicholas Molbert and GOODNESS GRACIOUS
Winner of the Foundlings Press Wallace Award, Nicholas Molbert’s Goodness Gracious explores creation, distance, landscapes, and the passing of lives. As guest book artist Edreys Wajed puts it, “These poems are light as feathers, hit hard as bricks.”
Charged with memory and desire, haunted by heaven and lineage, Nicholas Molbert’s poems are sluiced with physical and spiritual longing, unexpectedly tender, sometimes funny, and always moving.
