Save the date! The 2022 Southern Festival of Books is still a few months away, but Humanities Tennessee will be offering a glimpse of this year's author lineup at a reveal party on July 7. The in-person gathering will be held at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville, with the announcement portion livestreamed on Facebook. The event is free, but attendees are asked to register in advance.
Last week at the site, we revisited a poem from Stephanie McCarley Dugger's Either Way, You're Done; Emily Choate reviewed Luke Manget's history of the Appalachian root and herb trade, Ginseng Diggers; Bradley Sides celebrated the value of stories in his essay "Shareable Treasures"; and Fernanda Moore reviewed Tom Perrotta's latest novel, Tracy Flick Can't Win.
