SUMMARY:A Reading and Author Chat with BJ Hollars
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the release of “Year of Plenty: A Family’s Season of Grief\,” join author BJ Hollars for a reading and conversation with Jess Witkins as they dive into life\, the moments that overwhelm us\, and find the courage to push on. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing following the talk. \nIn November 2020\, B.J. Hollars answered a call from his father-in-law while teaching. “When will you be home?” Steve asked. “I have news.”\nSo began the Hollars family’s year of plenty—a cancer diagnosis on top of the ongoing COVID pandemic\, then feelings of falling short as parents\, partners\, and people. While Hollars traces his family’s daily devastations alongside his father-in-law’s decline\, he recounts the small mercies along the way: birthdays\, campfires\, fishing trips\, kayaking\, and fireflies. As he\, his wife\, Meredith\, and their three young children grapple with how best to say goodbye to the person they love\, they are forced to reassess their own lives. How can we make the most of our time\, they wonder\, when time feels so short? \nWritten in vignettes and accompanied by photographs and family interviews\, Year of Plenty provides a poignant and unflinching account of how death separates us not only from the people we love but from places and memories too. Hollars explores how death’s all-consuming weight has the potential to fracture—rather than strengthen—even those relationships we think we know the best. Ultimately\, he cracks wide personal moments from his own life and allows the world to peer in. \nB.J. Hollars is the author or editor of more than a dozen books. The founder and executive director of the Chippewa Valley Writers Guild\, he is a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. \nJess Witkins is a freelance writer and director for the La Crescent Public Library. She is a member and critique group facilitator for the Mississippi Valley Writers Guild.

SUMMARY:Four Ways of Being a Woman Artist in a Man's World: A Driftless Regional Read Program
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, women were excluded from art academies\, life drawing classes\, and the career of professional artist. Even so\, many women still found ways to learn to paint and much of their work is being rediscovered in our day. \nIn this virtual talk\, award-winning author Erin Bartels will outline the life and work of four female artists in France in the late 1800s who\, while contemporaries of one another\, approached their art and their lives in different ways as they attempted to navigate societal restrictions and cultural expectations of what women should do and what they were even capable of doing. Then she’ll bring the issue into the present\, unpacking the ways we all tend to restrict ourselves from creating and sharing our creations today\, despite the fact that societal norms have changed and we enjoy unprecedented freedom to choose. She’ll also talk briefly about how her exploration of women artists made its way into her latest novel\, The Lady with the Dark Hair. \nRegistration is required.
