Outside of wellness courses, our author events are the perfect way to learn more about a subject, and there's no need to read the book beforehand:
Praised as "both scholar and jazz-like innovator," renowned poet Ed Roberson reads from his most recent book, "Asked What Has Changed." In 2020, Roberson was awarded the Jackson Poetry Prize, and the judges said, "Roberson’s poems work a way into your heart and consciousness, because he is a visionary of luminous detail, of histories, of what he has felt and lived and observed." His various influences and themes include the environment, spirituality, visual art, music, and his extensive travels. This is a free event and attendees will receive a hand-made, letterpress broadside featuring a new poem by the author. Supplies are limited.
Hot Spot: A Doctor's Diary from the Pandemic is a combined book discussion and signing with Alex Jahangir, orthopedic surgeon and USN parent, who was the chair of the Metro Nashville Coronavirus Task Force during the pandemic. John Seigenthaler, acclaimed former NBC news anchor and journalist, will moderate.
