Milkweed Books caps off Small Business Saturday with a reading from Alex Lemon, author of Feverland, which the Star Tribune called “moving, unpredictable and sometimes digressive—in that, too, it’s a lot like life itself.” A reception with drinks and refreshments will follow.
Alex Lemon
Alex Lemon is a poet and the author of two works of nonfiction: Happy, selected by Kirkus as one of the best memoirs of 2010, and Feverland: A Memoir in Shards. His collections of poems include Mosquito, Hallelujah Blackout, Fancy Beasts, The Wish Book, and Another Last Day. He teaches in the low-residency MFA program at Ashland University and is Associate Professor at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, where he lives.
This is a fragmented exploration of what it means to be a man in twenty-first-century America—and a harrowing, associative memoir about how we live with the beauties and horrors of our pasts.
