Texas Writes is a statewide program that brings accomplished authors to rural libraries for a half day of presentations and panel discussions focused on the craft of writing.

Our Buchanan Dam, TX event features Rachel Starnes presenting on “Problems of Memory in Memoir” and Julie Poole presenting on “Nature Poetry: A Field Guide to Capturing Everyday Wonder”.

We’ll start at 10:00 AM CST with our presentations and we’ll conclude with a conversation with both authors, moderated by WLT Executive Director Becka Oliver.

We hope to see you there!
