Sarah K. Lenz Reading and Signing
Free!
6:30 PM
Anita & W.T. Neyland Public Library
1230 Carmel Pkwy
Corpus Christi, TX 78411
Come listen to local author and Corpus Christi Literati founder, Sarah K. Lenz read from her new book, What Will Outlast Me?
This memoir-in-essays explores the question: How do you live knowing you're going to die? Lenz touches on moments when death brushed near, including a house fire, a car accident, and a police shooting, but in each case, the violent and tragic are interwoven with curiosity and insight. This book is a moving, heartfelt meditation on how to face mortality, how to grieve, but most importantly, how to awaken to the ephemeral beauty of the world. This book is a powerful reminder that what will outlast us is those we love.
