Voices in the North Country Writers Symposium
This one shows up on more than one calendar, so we pulled it together into a single listing. Follow whichever link you like best, the details are the same event either way.
…he theme for this year’s symposium is “Writing the Landscapes of Maine.” Events begin at 1:30 p.m. with author readings, followed by a brief intermission and book sales, and then a panel discussion starting at 2:45. A public reception will be held in the MPR at 5:30 p.m. Talty will sign and Neighborhood Books will sell copies of his books during the reception. Talty, the national-bestselling author of “Night of the Living Rez” and “Fire Exit,” will serve as both the symposium keynote and UMPI’s next Libra Distinguished Lecture Series speaker at 6 p.m. in the MPR. His talk is titled “We Are Made of Place.” All events are free and open to the public. FMI: Melissa Lizotte, (207) 768-9452, melissa.m.lizotte@maine.edu mailto:melissa.m.lizotte@maine.edu .
