SUMMARY:MARGARET RENKL: Looking Glass Rock Writers’ Conference Public Reading
DESCRIPTION:Looking Glass Rock Writers’ Conference faculty\, Margaret Renkl\, will give a public reading of her work at the Transylvania County Library Rogow Room on May 20 at 7:30 pm.\nMargaret Renkl is the author of Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss and Graceland\, at Last: Notes on Hope and Heartache From the American South. She is also a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times\, where her essays appear each Monday. Her work has also appeared in Guernica\, Literary Hub\, Oxford American\, River Teeth\, and The Sewanee Review\, among others. A graduate of Auburn University and the University of South Carolina\, she lives in Nashville. \nGrowing up in Alabama\, Renkl was a devoted reader\, an explorer of riverbeds and red-dirt roads\, and a fiercely loved daughter. In Late Migrations\, she traces (in brief essays) a tender and honest portrait of her complicated parents—her exuberant\, creative mother; her steady\, supportive father—and of the bittersweet moments that accompany a child’s transition to caregiver. Gorgeously illustrated by the author’s brother\, Billy Renkl\, Late Migrations is an assured and memorable debut. Her next book\, Graceland\, At Last\, brings together 60 of Renkl’s New York Times columns\, which offer a weekly dose of natural beauty\, human decency\, and persistent hope in a sparkling new collection. \nBraided into the overall narrative of her work\, Renkl offers observations on the world surrounding her suburban Nashville home. Ringing with rapture and heartache\, these essays convey the dignity of bluebirds and rat snakes\, monarch butterflies and native bees. As these two threads haunt and harmonize with each other\, Renkl suggests that there is astonishment to be found in common things: in what seems ordinary\, in what we all share. For in both worlds—the natural one and our own—“the shadow side of love is always loss\, and grief is only love’s own twin.” \n  \n\n  \nThe Looking Glass Rock Writers’ Conference (LGRWC) is a unique creative experience for writers which aspires to foster reading\, writing\, creativity\, and a sense of place in Transylvania County.  The Transylvania County Library is a vital\, trusted source for discovery\, inspiration\, and innovation at the heart of a community that celebrates learning\, creativity\, and curiosity.  Brevard College provides an experiential liberal arts education that encourages personal growth and inspires artistic\, intellectual\, and social action. \nAs partners\, Brevard College and the Transylvania County Library Foundation seek to enrich the cultural and educational life of Transylvania County by nurturing and developing the LGRWC. Through intensive community-building creative workshops and public readings\, the LGRWC will offer Transylvania County residents the opportunity to interact with renowned authors\, engage in meaningful conversation about writing and place\, and strengthen ties across generations by reaching out to the diverse population of Transylvania County.
