PAMELA SUMNERS READS FROM HER RECENT BOOK

Etiquette for a Pandemic (& Other Social Distancing Protocols)


"Hole-in-the-Head, while called a “review,” has only once before offered an actual review of a volume of poetry [...] But occasionally we get an opportunity that we just don’t want to pass up . . [W]e find Pamela Sumners’s Etiquette for a Pandemic (& Other Social Distancing Protocols) compelling, timely, crisply original, daringly challenging and, at once, powerfully charming. It is, in fact, unlike any volume of poetry we’ve encountered.


"And it is an encounter. Rest assured that from the moment you enter this collection—and, oh reader, you do enter—in a way not entirely unlike entering a theme park for the mind, you are in for a different experience."


--Bill Burtis, Hole in the Head Review

Sumners has been a lifelong activist, from constitutional and civil rights litigation in her native Alabama to women’s advocacy in the Midwest. She is best known for her legal work against “10 Commandments Judge” Roy Moore, Donald Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow, Supreme Court wannabe Bill Pryor, and an Alabama governor who said the Bill of Rights doesn’t apply there.
