Evan Coyote in conversation with Susan G. Cole, presented by Eden Mill's Writer's Festival. "EMWF’s August Book Club pick, Care Of, is an affirming and joyous reflection on many of the themes central to Coyote’s celebrated work—compassion and empathy, family fragility, non-binary and Trans identity, and the unending beauty of simply being alive, a giant love letter to the idea of human connection, and the power of truly listening to each other."
Thursday, August 5th, 5:00-6:00 pm Pacific Time.
