Book Launch with Nancy Manning

Local Poet, Author, and Educator, Nancy Manning will give a reading from her recently published book, Absence. This new collection establishes the overall theme of multiple kinds of loss. Objects like her Noni’s cuckoo clock and her father’s black-and-red check jacket she saved from the rag bag have great power. Absence is infused with a hard-won understanding of what it means to be human because Manning has cored it from the heart. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
