Author Reading and Mini-Workshop: Jenny Forrester in Conversation with Mo Daviau

BOLD is thrilled to host a reading and mini-workshop with Jenny Forrester, author of Love: The Art of Cherishing the World.

Join Jenny Forrester at BOLD Coffee & Books for a conversation and mini-workshop celebrating her new book, Love: The Art of Cherishing the World. Jenny will be in conversation with Mo Daviau, author of Every Anxious Wave and Epic and Lovely.

Blending political memoir with intimate observation and raucous storytelling, Forrester explores the current state of the Anthropocene. Together we’ll discuss love as a political practice and writing as an ethic of solidarity, with prompts for noticing, naming, and reimagining what we owe one another. Q&A and book signing to follow.

Jenny Forrester's the author of Narrow River, Wide Sky: A Memoir; Soft Hearted Stories: Seeking Saviors, Cowboy Stylists, and Other Fallacies of Authoritarianism, a Colorado Book Award Finalist; Brilliant: The Art of Literary Radiance, a Writing Manual and Manifesto; and Love: The Art of Cherishing the World.

Born and raised in California, Mo is a graduate of Smith College and the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan. A former resident of Los Angeles, Austin, and Lamoille County, Vermont, Mo now lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, who is a sound designer and all-around excellent cook.
