MICHELLE BAKER LAUNCH PARTY
A local visual artist, playwright, and author, Michelle Baker was inspired to write her new book The Canoe by wondering how the Titanic’s sinking affected her grandfather, a mortician in Maryland. Set during ten days in 1912 with the Titanic disaster as a backdrop, The Canoe follows two protagonists as they head inevitably toward the next turning point in their lives. Kevin McIlvoy (The Complete History of New Mexico & Other Stories) says, “In The Canoe’s converging stories of wild love and unimaginable loss, the author has conjured the human tribe at the moment of wonder when we open our arms to life and at the moment of awe when we open them to the embrace of death.” Please join us to celebrate this new release!
