Book Reading by Former AIS Teacher
AIS is proud to welcome Madge McKeithen, who taught at AIS from 1996-2001, at a special reading and signing of her recently published book, Blue Peninsula: Essential Words for a Life of Loss and Change.
In the words of Edward Hirsch, author of Poet’s Choice, “Madge McKeithen treats poetry as what Kenneth Burke calls ‘equipment for living.’ Poems become her abiding companions as she lives through and confronts her son’s devastating unnamed illness. Blue Peninsula is a deeply moving book that, like good poetry itself, disturbs and consoles.”
Please join us at the reading on Sunday, May 7 at 4 p.m. in the Auditorium. Copies of the book will be available for sale after the reading. To ensure we have enough seats, RSVP to Basie Wilson at 404-841-3840 or bwilson@aischool.org.
