Featherboard Writing Series Reading

George Reiger
Heron Hill cemetery, Locustville, Virginia
Circa 1975

This coming Saturday, August 3, I will read selections from the chapbook I've produced in conjunction with the Aggregate Space and Featherboard Writing Series Writer-in-Residence Program. The chapbook is a meditation on my rural upbringing; along with my text, it features photographs taken by either me or my father. A limited edition of the chapbook will be available at the reading. (I will also design and release an e-chapbook version later this year.)

If you're in the Bay Area, please consider coming to Aggregate Space for the event.
