Eugenian Barbara Mossberg will be here for a Meet-and-Greet, Book Signing, and short Reading (@3PM) for her most recent book, Here for The Present: A Grammar of Happiness in the Present Imperfect, Live from the Poet's Perch. The jacket blurb reads: this exuberant record of Barbara Mossberg engaging audiences from California to Finland, you will find poems, stories, memoir, humor, elegies, celebrations, travel narratives, rollicking speeches, nature rapture, literary tributes, cooking instructions, and love songs, among other riches. You will encounter mountains and mountain lions, rivers and herons, lost loved ones and found miracles. In her company, you will experience, as she does, moments “when the Universe will reveal itself…as something generous and good, some whiff of passing grace.” The aroma of wonder rises from every page . . . rambunctious, lyrical, inspiring prose and poetry throughout.
