 April 28: Poet Linda Parsons Marion reads from her 3rd poetry collection, Bound
Linda Parsons Marion's third poetry collection, Bound, chronicles the work and fabric of a Tennessee family, from grandparents to parents to daughters to granddaughter. Bound as they are on journeys together and apart, memory seams one generation to the next, redeeming the stumbles of the past  and blessing the plenteous future.
The book was published by Wind Publications in Kentucky. Marion's first reading will be at Lawson-McGhee Public Library, April 28, Thursday, 6:30. |
