Poet Juliet Patterson will lead us in a session that combines the creative process and discovery centered on her memoir, Sinkhole: A Legacy of Suicide, a creative project that was written in, around, and through grief. In 2009, Juliet Patterson was recovering from a serious car accident when she learned her father had died by suicide. His death was part of a disturbing pattern in her family.

Join Juliet Patterson for a reading and conversation about her latest book, Sinkhole.

Join Juliet Patterson and Clancy Martin, for a discussion moderated by Michael Kleber-Diggs as part of the Kansas Book Festival.

Join at the University of Illinois this special evening with U.S. Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. Part conversation and part poetry reading, the event follows Limón as she shares how poetry connects us to the world, allows us to heal, to love, to grieve, and reminds us of the full spectrum of human emotion.

Join Ada Limón virtually at her reading for The Care Center.

Join for Ada Limón’s visit as part of the Francis A. McAnaney Humanities Lecture, previously known as the Christian Culture Lecture. This lecture series has welcomed remarkable writers, historians, philosophers, and theologians to their campus over the past 15 years.
