SUMMARY:The Living Writers Reading Series: George Estreich
DESCRIPTION:George Estreich is a poet and the author of the memoir\, The Shape of The Eye\, winner of the Oregon Book Award. “The Shape of the Eye is a memoir of a father’s love for his daughter\, his struggle to understand her disability\, and his journey toward embracing her power and depth. Estreich is raw and honest and draws us each into a new view of what it means to be ‘human’ and what it means to be ‘different’. This book is beautifully written\, poetically insightful\, and personally transformative. To read it is to rethink everything and to be happy because of the journey.” –Timothy P. Shriver\, Ph.D.\, Chairman & CEO of Special Olympics

SUMMARY:The Living Writers Reading Series: Tupelo Hassman
DESCRIPTION:Tupelo Hassman\, author of the novel Girlchild (FSG 2012) “It takes real talent to make something beautiful out of a trailer park.
