Join us at Buffalo Street Books with local author Christine Gelineau for observations on the intersections between real life, stories, and the natural world in this contemplative memoir as she reads from her new book, ALMANAC: A Murmuration

About the Author: Christine Gelineau is past Associate Director of the Creative Writing Program at Binghamton University and teaches creative nonfiction and poetry at the Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wilkes University, a program she helped to found. She is the prize-winning author of three books of poetry: Crave, Appetite for the Divine, and Remorseless Loyalty; and editor, with Jack B. Bedell, of the anthology French Connections: A Gathering of Franco-American Poets.

Almanac: A Murmuration is a memoir that is stitched through with a thread of autobiography and by a thread about the nature of language and narrative: the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, the stories we fashion about how we matter as a nation, and stories we weave about our relationships with other-than-human animals and with the endangered natural world we are a part of.
