Join Leslie Anthony as he connects with five authors to explore how they mined their lives’ complexities and struggles through personal memoir, including: a personal history of homelessness and social exile in Canada; a story of struggle with bipolar disorder, bulimia and substance abuse; a 30 plus year relationship with Tuco, a parrot, and others in a scattershot world; an escape from Communist Czechoslovakia and learning to cope with American culture; and one writer’s compulsion for starting over.

Featuring Shelley A. Leedahl and authors Brian Brett, Trisha Cull, Jan Drabek & Jane Harris. Admission: $15
