SRA Winter Writers Series

SRA Winter Writers Series Enjoy a free event with Amy Lou Jenkins as she reads a short selection from her award-winning essay collection Every natural Fact. Amy will red and share insights about how writing a book based on nature walks with her son changed the way both of them experience the world. Although she did not set out to write a parenting book, the stories of mother and son away from phones, computer, advertisements and concrete has resonated with parents and grandparents who seek an exit from the dissatisfying commercial circle of owning the latest version of whatever. Those who attend will gain some ideas about how family stories and literature might be transformed into a loving gift for this holiday season.
When : Tues, Dec 6, 6:30
Where: Intimate Cabinet Shop Venue on the Shake Rag Alley Campus 18 Shake Rag Street, Mineral Point, WI 53565 Telephone: (608) 987-3292
