Dylin Hardcastle & Sean Hewitt: Closed and Open Hearts

Meet the authors of two poetic novels where young queer characters come of age. In Dylin Hardcastle's A Language of Limbs, the aftermath of one summer night ripples across decades as two teenage girls decide whether to act on their desires. In Open, Heaven, poet Sean Hewitt follows his acclaimed memoir, All Down Darkness Wide, with a debut about a teenage boy who falls for his charismatic neighbour in their small village. Chaired by Andrés N. Ordorica.
