MARIE CARTER – THE TRAPEZE DIARIES


DATE: 7TH OCTOBER
TIME: 6:30PM

Blackwell Bookshop welcomes back an Ex-James Thins employee Marie Carter with the release of her first book – The Trapeze Diaries which is based on her experiences learning fixed trapeze which she continues to study.

“...I picked up The Trapeze Diaries, Marie Carter’s latest almost-fiction endeavor from Hanging Loose Press, and found a brilliant reminder that it’s never too late to join the circus.”—bookslut.com

“Marie Carter…has real talent…I think we all need to keep our eyes on this imaginative, bold woman’s writing. I predict she may well have a bright literary future.”—curledup.com

“The Trapeze Diaries is a tour de force performance—this is a writer transforming the things of daily life, the fears and struggles and unexpected glories, into weightless prose.”—Maria Dahvana Headley, author of The Year of Yes

“Not only the lyrical tale of one woman’s love affair with the trapeze, but a powerful story on becoming brave and letting go.”
—Carolyn Turgeon, author of Rain Village
