When a Poet Writes a Memoir

Date: April 21, 2018
Time: 12:00 am - 12:00 am
Location: Old Professor's Bookshop, 99 Main Street, Belfast, Maine

Belfast’s poet, Elizabeth Garber, will be giving a talk and reading that follows her journey through writing four books of poetry, an MFA, her term as Belfast’s Poetry Laureate, and how she unexpectedly ended up writing Implosion: A Memoir of an Architect’s Daughter which will be released this June. Her talk will include lively stories about her writing life: a bi-lingual reading at Café Tortoni in Buenos Aires with a tango singer, writing retreats on Maine Islands, hearing Garrison Keillor read three of her poems on NPR, and an artist fellowship on a cattle ranch in Wyoming.

The first guest who requests an Advanced Reader’s Copy of Implosion will receive her memoir for free in exchange for writing and posting a review.
