Join us for Poetry Book Club! This month we will read A Thousand Mornings by Mary Oliver. You can check out a copy at the Downtown Library's Information Desk.

We will met in the Northwest Corner (past the Information Desk) from 5:30-7:00 on Thursday, August 7. The first hour will be dedicated to discussion with the last 30 minutes reserved for writing exercises!

Synopsis:

In A Thousand Mornings, Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has come to define her life’s work, transporting us to the marshland and coastline of her beloved home, Provincetown, Massachusetts. Whether studying the leaves of a tree or mourning her treasured dog Percy, Oliver is open to the teachings contained in the smallest of moments and explores with startling clarity, humor, and kindness the mysteries of our daily experience.
