Rush Readers’ Book Club In-Person
Rochester Reads is back! This month we are partnering with Writers & Books for the Rochester Reads selection, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden by Camille T. Dungy, a poet and scholar. When Dungy moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in 2013, the community held restrictions about what residents could and could not plant in their gardens. She recounts her odyssey to diversify her garden in this “heartfelt and thoroughly enchanting tribute to family and community. Dungy shows us how to tend a garden, and how to tend a full and fragrant life” says author Aimee Nezhukumatathil. Camille Dungy will be in Rochester in October for events and book talks. We will have this book to borrow, and for sale, in early September, while supplies last. Join us for discussion and dessert on Thursday, September 25th, in the library at 7:00 PM. Please register in advance. This program is offered in partnership with Rochester Reads!, an annual city-wide tradition created by Writers & Books in 2001 that inspires readers to connect to one another through the shared experience of literature.
