SUMMARY:[FAN] The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year Margaret Renkl
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 14\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year\, a FAN webinar featuring\nMargaret Renkl\, in conversation with Mary Laura Philpott. \nRegister: www.bit.ly/RenklFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Comfort of Crows from FAN’s partner\nbookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Renkl and Philpott that will\nstart immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year\, award-winning bestselling author Margaret Renkl presents a\nliterary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a\nyear. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day\, its resourcefulness and sense of\ncommunity setting a theme for the year\, to the lingering bluebirds of December\, revisiting the nest box they used\nin spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world\, and grief\nover winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer. \nAlong the way\, we also glimpse the changing rhythms of a human life. Grown children\, unexpectedly home\nduring the pandemic\, prepare to depart once more. Birdsong and night-blooming flowers evoke generations\npast. The city and the country where Renkl raised her family transform a little more with each passing day. And\nthe natural world\, now in visible flux\, requires every ounce of hope and commitment from the author—and from\nus. For\, as Renkl writes\, “radiant things are bursting forth in the darkest places\, in the smallest nooks and\ndeepest cracks of the hidden world.” \nWith fifty-two original color artworks by the author’s brother\, Billy Renkl\, The Comfort of Crows is a lovely and\ndeeply moving book from a cherished observer of the natural world. \nRenkl lives in Nashville and is a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times\, where her essays appear\nweekly. She will be in conversation with Mary Laura Philpott\, the nationally bestselling author of I Miss You\nWhen I Blink and the memoir Bomb Shelter: Love\, Time\, and Other Explosives\, which won the Southern Book\nPrize and was named a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice and one of NPR’s “Favorite Books of\n2022.” \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
