Three books, three authors take us on exquisite journeys of close proximity to bodies, minds, and spirits. Jenn Ashton’s short stories in People Like Frank: and other stories from the edge of normal compels us with shadows, light, tears, laughter and what is normal; while Susan Mockler’s memoir, Fractured, is a devastation and transformation of Susan’s body that forces us to demand better; and Nikki Reimer’s poetry collection, No Town Called We, pushes us to examine complacency, capitalism, development, land occupation, climate crisis, and much more. Join in the conversation with this multi-genre panel and readings by the authors. Explore how themes of reformation, resilience, or reconciliation emerge in their books; or, just come along wherever the conversation takes us.
