    Please join us at UConn Barnes & Noble in Downtown Storrs in welcoming Avan Jogia as he presents his new book MIXED FEELINGS.

    In MIXED FEELINGS, Jogia explores his complicated emotions around race, identity, religion, and family through poetry and imagery. Drawing on his own life story as well as interviews he's conducted with friends and strangers, Mixed Feelings serves as a dialogue starter for difficult topics that now, more than ever, need to be discussed.
