Join author, Kristin Czarnecki in conversation about her latest book, Encounters with Inscriptions, with Rae Franceour, writer and co-founder of Literary Cape Ann on Monday, June 2nd at 5:30 p.m. in the Brenner room.
When Kristin Czarnecki lost both her parents within nine months, she sought solace in books–but not just any books. In Encounters with Inscriptions, Kristin writes about the books inscribed and given to her by her parents over the years–an array of novels, short stories, poetry, nature writing, and a cookbook. As she explores each book, Kristin focuses not only on loss but on the complexities of childhood, on family and friendship, and on the the rewards of a life spent reading.
