Dearest Departed
A Chapbook Launch Party
April 25, 2025
At our Common Area location, Ambrosia Zine announced its first chapbook winner: Susanna Williams!
Dearest Departed by Susanna Williams is a collection of poetry and photography that covers grief, resilience, and ancestral legacy. Contained within its pages are a series of pieces generated in the years that have followed her grandmother's passing in May of 2021. Susanna hopes this body of work will remind you to honor what has been lost by fiercely loving and being loved.
Susanna sang and read in honor of her ancestors. Several friends and fellow creatives joined her in this celebration of life, death, loss, and love. There was live music, an altar, and a chance to mix and mingle, and copies of Dearest Departed were available for purchase!
This work would not be possible without the generous support of these sponsors.
