Book Cover Reveal and Celebration with Librarian Wendy DeGroat

All are invited to join Wendy DeGroat at a cover reveal celebration & reading for her forthcoming documentary poetry book: What Doesn’t Burn: Imagining Richmond’s Grace Arents in Poems. The event will take place on June 20th from 6:30-7:30pm at CultureWorks. It is free and open to the public. and should last no longer than an hour.

The publication of this book marks the culmination of a 15-year research and writing journey that began when DeGroat ran across an article about Grace in Richmond Magazine. It tells the story of a Progressive-era philanthropist, educator, and social reformer who made a lasting impact on Richmond, particularly the Oregon Hill neighborhood.

DeGroat and the book’s graphic designer, a young local artist, will share a bit about the process as well as some readings from the book.
