This in-person event is a part of the 2024 Virginia Festival of the Book and will take place at the shop.
Two southern poets turn to the natural world, finding solace and mystery.
Maurice Manning’s eighth collection, Snakedoctor, populates the Kentucky countryside with giant visitors and dream-like visions. In his book-length elegy, What the Light Leaves Hidden, Terry Kennedy moves through a southern landscape with tenderness and grief, noting its inhabitants and landmarks.
