Last month, Professors Matthew Pitt and Alex Lemon participated in a reading and discussion for their new book publications hosted by the TCU Bookstore.

Pitt’s first novel, Tear Here, follows the chaotic rise of a rock band whose journey explores themes of celebrity, cult-like devotion, and destructive obsession.

All Us Beautiful Monsters, a new collection of poetry from Alex Lemon, details the complexities of life by examining the deeply human contradictions of aching grief and radiant joy.

You can learn more about these books and read a Q&A with the authors at the link in our bio!
