She found herself awake at 3 a.m. with questions that wouldn't settle: Is this all there is? What do I do when everything comes undone? How do I stay open when I want to close down?Through watercolor illustrations woven with personal narrative and philosophical reflection, Alessandra offers companionship rather than answers. The book moves through five movements—Question, Doubt, Ground, Open, Renewal—each holding its own texture.About the Author:Alessandra Olanow is a writer and illustrator beloved on Instagram as @aolanow. Her work explores life's unexpected turns with honesty and grace, drawing from her own experiences with loss, reinvention, and the courage to begin again. She has also worked as an end-of-life doula, an experience that deepened her understanding of life's cycles of transformation and renewal. Her books include I Used to Have a Plan, Hello Grief, and Begin Again, And Again, And Again. She divides her time between Brooklyn, New York, and Ojai, California. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bedford/author-talk-alessandra-olanow/100001987388081250 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, health-wellness, fine-arts, meditation, shopping - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Bedford Books - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 21.99, max: 21.99, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bedford - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Bedford Books - **lat**: 41.2042844 - **long**: -73.64335299999999 - **full address**: Bedford Books, 13 Court Road, Bedford, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Author Talk: Alessandra Olanow - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/df3e889fa41f96508ecc3e3b661b3cae0987b560878feb5c688c18d14c518b77-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1776180807 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Author Talk: Alessandra Olanow being held? - **A:** Author Talk: Alessandra Olanow takes place on Wed, 03 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 03 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Bedford Books, 13 Court Road, Bedford, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Author Talk: Alessandra Olanow? - **A:** Author Talk: Alessandra Olanow is organized by Bedford Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
