Program Description

Details

We all have power when it comes to the stories we choose to tell, and should be aware of how the ones we tell will continue to echo. There’s this place where memory crosses over into history, but getting there takes time, effort and structure. Vo will discuss how her fourth Singing Hills Novella, Mammoths at the Gate, makes the historical personal, and the personal historical, and it’s always worth thinking about what stories we want to tell going forward.

This event will be presented in person and virtually. To attend virtually, select "Online" in the registration options below.
