About this Event
Renowned poet Kate Baer discusses cataloguing her journey to middle age in poems that expose the beauty, resilience and fragility attendant at each stage of life. In conversation with host Ashley Audrain.
In How About Now, Baer explores what it means to grow older, to release children into the wildness of their own lives, and to reclaim the ever-evolving self. Raw, luminous, and urgent, this collection is a striking declaration of ongoing transformation and self-discovery.
Kate Baer shares profoundly intimate yet universal poems that capture the heartbeat of the modern woman.
Question and answer session and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
