Join Black Swamp Conservancy and Gathering Volumes as we welcome Patrick Wensink to Toledo! Patrick will be reading from his new book, Great Black Swamp: Toxic Algae, Toxic Relationships, and The Most Interesting Place in America Nobody’s Ever Heard Of and sharing insights into his writing at this special book event.

As Publishers Weekly’s starred review notes, Great Black Swamp is “Funny, fascinating, and sneakily profound, this delights.” Part real-life ecological horror story, part memoir about Patrick’s attraction to all the wrong types of people, the book is also a love-letter to his home of origin, northwest Ohio. “A surprisingly entertaining read about an environmental disaster,” writes Kirkus Review.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Patrick and get your book signed!
