On Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 6:00pm at the Betty Strong Encounter Center, listen to Jeanne Emmons read (with commentary) from her latest poetry collection, Dead Language.
Jeanne’s poems about the loss of her mother, a Latin teacher, will take listeners on a descent to the underworld and back again, a metaphor for the grief journey. A presentation of visual images will accompany the reading.
A book signing and reception will follow with refreshments furnished by Gretchen Gondek, Tricia Currans-Sheehan, and the Lewis and Clark Center.
