Join us for a reading by M.P. Jones IV

The public is invited to a book talk by M.P. Jones IV, author of Live at Lethe: A Poetry Collection on Friday, February 7 at 4:00 p.m.

Brimming with darkness and forgetting, Live at Lethe is an epic collection composed of short lyric reflections, steeped in the waters of oblivion. This tapestry of loss is woven with the dark silk of Southern ecological destruction and the passing of the poet’s grandfather--post-Fugitive Agrarian novelist Madison Jones--whose work reflected a fear that the South had lost its “redemptive memory.” The elegiac songs of Live at Lethe reach wildly for meaning in a world increasingly filled with disappearance and shadow.

The event is free, open to the public, and will be followed by refreshments. 

Pebble Hill is located at 101 S. Debardeleben Street and is home to the Caroline Marshall Center for the Arts & Humanities in the College of Liberal Arts.  The Center exists to bring together scholars and the public to share information, learn from each other, and explore the issues that matter most.
