Join us for a special panel discussion and the in-person kickoff of the monthly event series Milkweed Presents! For this inaugural conversation, Juliet Patterson, author of the stunning memoir Sinkhole: A Legacy of Suicide, speaks with Hawona Sullivan Janzen, James Curry, Emily Strasser, and Tom Nguyen about unearthing family narratives, and the impact of our ancestors’ tales on those who follow.

We hope you can join us at Milkweed Books, our brick-and-mortar independent bookstore located on the first floor of Open Book, at 6 p.m. for a truly singular discussion about what our families and relatives’ stories can tell us about our own lives.

Milkweed Presents is a monthly event series featuring Milkweed authors as curators of conversation with local writers and community organizers on a topic of their choosing. These events are held in-person in our bookstore, Milkweed Books, on the first Wednesday of the month.
