Catch Sky Gilbert in NYC!

Sky Gilbert's alter-ego, the fabulous Jane, is heading to the Big Apple to perform from The Mommiad on March 19 and 20, 7:30 pm, at Dixon Place. Sky's recently published book of poems chronicles the relationship between mother and son, the ups and downs, and the toll that alcohol and dementia eventually took on Patricia Tucker Gilbert's life. Lyrical and tragic, The Mommiad is an artist's self-reflection and an endeavour to turn one woman's life into an artistic experience.
