Author Peterson to read

The department of English Studies presents Alice Petersen, reading from her award-winning book of short stories, All the Voices Cry (Biblioasis 2012), on Monday March 11 from 10 – 11 a.m. in Room A122.

In All the Voices Cry, modern life collides with all the old pushes and pulls: city and country, the global and the local, the ideal and the real. Petersen’s characters chase the mirage of escape, and are brought up hard by reality. This is a book rooted in landscape, tangled in the brambles of personal history, and it introduces in Alice Petersen a wondrous new voice that is yours to discover. The reading is free of charge and all are welcome.
