Poetry Book Club
July 15, 2020 @ 6:30 pm PDT - 7:30 pm PDT
Our MoSt Summer Book Club is back on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 6:30, and you don’t even have to drive to the library because it is a Zoom meeting!
We’ll be discussing Natasha Tretheway’s Pulitzer Prize winning collection, Native Guard. There are copies available to borrow at the Modesto Public Library. If you’d like one, please email Vicki, our most wonderful librarian contact, at vsalinas@stanlibrary.org.
Through elegiac verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South — where one of the first black regiments, the Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service during the Civil War. Trethewey’s resonant and beguiling collection is a haunting conversation between personal experience and national history. (from the Houghton Mifflin website)
We’ll send out the Zoom invite via Mailchimp and our Facebook page later this month, so stay tuned!
