Critical conversation for critical readers in community.
Join Fernwood Publishing for a roundtable discussion and remembrance of Jen Powley and her book, Making a Home (Roseway Publishing, 2022).
Serious and relaxed, intimate and thoughtful, Fern Reads is Fernwood's latest series for all your book-clubbing needs. Fern Reads hopes to create unintimidating intellectual space. We hope to have fun and challenge ourselves while still maintaining a grounded and generative space. All you need to do is show up!
The expectation is to come together to talk about a book everyone has read, at least in part or mostly. In this special edition, to remember Jen, we're going to be donating $5 to Independent Living Nova Scotia for every person who attends.
This roundtable discussions will be hosted via Zoom and begin at 6:00 pm EST, 7:00 pm AST. It will last for approximately 1 hour.
