Don't forget to join us on Saturday, December 7th for An Evening of poetry with Ethna McKeirnan & Local Poet Tom Murtha. Ethna's latest book Swimming With Shadows returns to her earlier themes of loss --of her youngest son, of her father, and of the pervasive losses of the homeless population with whom she works. Joining Ethna this evening will be one of our store's dear friends and a local poet, Tom Murtha. Tom has been working with Ethna for some time now and will be sharing a few of his own poems. This event is free and open to the public and we will have copies of Ethna's latest book available for purchase.
