Emily Strelow in Conversation With Rebecca Clarren
Powell's Books on Hawthorne 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR, United StatesEmily Strelow's mesmerizing debut stitches together a sprawling saga of the feral Northwest across farmlands and deserts and generations: an American mosaic alive with birdsong and gunsmoke, held together by a silver box of eggshells – a long-ago gift from a mother to her daughter. Written with grace, grit, and an acute knowledge of how the past insists upon itself, The Wild Birds (Rare Bird) is a radiant and human story about the shelters we find and make along our crooked paths home. Strelow will be joined in conversation by Rebecca Clarren, author of Kickdown.
