Join the Shenandoah Public Library for the Speakers Bureau presentation “Discussions, Readings, and Maybe a Banjo” by Mary Swander.

Mary Swander will talk and discuss the state of poetry in contemporary society, illustrating her ideas with her original work, including the classic “Driving the Body Back” and her recent collection The Girls on the Roof, a Mississippi River flood saga. The author of twelve books, numerous plays and radio commentaries, Swander brings energy and humor to the page and to her audiences. And sometimes she even brings her banjo.
