2:30pm: Author Lara Messersmith-Glavin book signing and reading of “Spirit Things” Q&A, and knot-tying.
Spirit Things recounts stories of fishing, family, synesthesia, storytelling, gender, and violence against the backdrop of the Alaskan fishing industry. Each essay follows an object through its history, drawing together the delicate lines that link things through their making and use, their genesis and evolution, and the ways they gain significance in an individual’s life.
