Pat Williams Owen Presents The Crossroad

Carmichael's is excited to host Pat Williams Owen for her newest collection of poetry, The Crossroad. She will be joined in conversation by Johanna Hynes.

About the Book:

The poems in The Crossroad explore memory, loss, the nature of our irredeemably human existence. Like Our Town, these poems see the timeless in the everyday. They remind us to pay attention to the details of our fleeting lives.The Crossroad is one woman's journey, every woman's journey.
