"Let Us Descend" by Jesmyn Ward describes a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. A journey that is as beautifully rendered as it is heart wrenching, the novel is “the literary equivalent of an open wound from which poetry pours” (NPR).Have you ever read a book that haunted you (in the best possible way)? This just might be that book, and we welcome an opportunity to ...just talk about it! This is a chance to come together and honor our ways of knowing, and affirm All of Who We Are.
Please join us at the Edward A. Dixon Gallery for an evening of unfacilitated conversation...if you read the book or not.
