Fresh Water Voices

Book Reading & Signing

Wednesday, November 4, 7 – 8:30 pm

Goodwill donation/All book sales benefit the SCA

With so much buzz around Saugatuck/Douglas’ environmental treasures, this very special book reading & signing event could not be more timely!

Join host Alison Swan, and the remarkable group of area poets and novelists who created the celebrated Michigan book, Fresh Water: Women Writing on the Great Lakes, for an evening of inspiring writing and conversation. Reading from their newest works the women will share their art and vision, and tales from the paths leading from Fresh Water to their current projects.

Then join the group for a reception and signing of new books and Fresh Water – plus the exciting art book, The Saugatuck Dunes: Artists Respond to a Freshwater Landscape, released in July. A portion from each book sold at the event will go to the SCA to support programming!

Remember: the holidays are coming and books are gifts friends open again and again.

This is a wonderful opportunity to hear – and meet – some of the Midwest’s most creative voices in an intimate setting.

Watching a very large GB heron fishing on the stream, and a female wood duck swim all around him. And steeking another knit coat, without the aid of vodka.
