Join Susan O’Connor and Annick Smith at Third place Books as they read exceprts from their anthology Hearth: A Global Conversation on Community, Identity, and Place.
Featuring original contributions from some of our most cherished voices–including Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibben, Pico Iyer, Natasha Trethewey, and Chigozie Obioma– Hearth suggests that empathy and storytelling hold the power to unite us when we have wandered alone for too long. This is an essential anthology that challenges us to redefine home and hearth: as a place to welcome strangers, to be generous, to care for the world beyond one’s own experience.
