Stefanie Peters: Neighbors to the Land and Each Other
About this Event
Why this Forum?
Because we love Stefanie! The last time she spoke, this modest and smart woman of letters brought the house down. We swear, a veritable "Amen Corner" arose as she broke down her task of establishing authorized translations of great American classics.
For those who take books and reading seriouly, this fervor is not hard to understand. So, join us this time around to see for yourself!
Peters is an editor and writer who works for one of the coolest American institutions you've possibly never heard of. BUT you've certainly seen their work. Their bold covers with red, white, and blue strips are easily recognized.
Library of America "champions our nation’s cultural heritage by publishing America’s greatest writing in authoritative new editions and providing resources for readers to explore this rich, living legacy."
What to Expect
She'll discuss her current editorial relationship with author Wendell Berry and help us understand his worldview. Berry just turned 92, and millions of readers have been affected by his love of words, land, and community for decades. His essays, poems, and novels are only getting more popular as we scratch around for our lost atune-ment to the material world...and our spiritual seves. Maybe you're one of them.
The drinks and grub (no grubs) are on us, perfectly matched to a book fest. Bring your literate and non-literate friends for a real hoedown!
