Poetry
Author Event with Pamela Haines
Join us on June 4, 2022 at 11:00 on Zoom, as Pamela Haines reads from her latest book, That Clear and Certain Sound. There will be opportunities for discussion as well as for hearing Pamela’s quiet wisdom.
What to expect?
Nadine Hoover says That Clear and Certain Sound stretches us “toward lives of greater connection and integrity.” Simple plots of land and community gatherings seen through Pamela Haines’ curious, attentive intellect reveal the rich, refreshing power in the ordinary. Her writings call us to tend that ring of truth in our own lives. Reading this book to myself or out loud to my family and community is a real treat. It calls us home to things that matter.”
This event is brought to you by CPMM’s Library Committee.
