Join us for a laid-back and engaging afternoon with local author, filmmaker, and storyteller Willy Bearden as he shares stories and reflections from his memoir, Mississippi Hippie: A Life in 49 Pieces.

This vivid collection of vignettes takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the soul-stirring landscapes of the Mississippi Delta and the buzzing streets of 1970s Memphis. Bearden masterfully captures a chaotic and transformative era, exploring themes of family, race, personal loss, and self-discovery. Whether he's recounting time spent in dusty fields, lively pool halls, or behind the wheel of a liquor delivery truck, his stories offer humor, heartache, and a deep sense of place.

Come hear firsthand how these moments shaped his life, inspired his work, and continue to resonate today.
