EVENTS AT FPL
The annual POETRY CONTEST is now open! Submissions welcomed until April 12th.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 26th from 7p.m. to 8:30p.m for a New Commons Event:
“From the Association of Stubborn Folks: All them pretty houses won’t feed them people”
Laressa Dickey will read poems and talk about growing upon a farm in Tennessee,
telling the story of being formed by that place and by the people in it.
How do we make a life in a place? How do we become of that place? How, when we leave that place, can it be that it never lets us leave? What is the mark it makes? How do we come to terms with the fact that we can never not be of that place. How do we make places, especially rural ones? How do our places make us?
