Author Reading: Brenda Miller in Conversation with Scott Nadelson

BOLD is honored to host a reading with Brenda Miller, author of Love You, Bye: A Daughter's Journey in Essays and Poems, in conversation with Scott Nadelson, author of Trust Me.

From award-winning writer Brenda Miller comes this stunning hybrid collection of essays, poems, and photographs about family, faith, and the art of saying goodbye. Essential reading for anyone navigating the complexities of aging parents, the mysteries of faith, or the simple courage required to keep loving in a world that often breaks our hearts. Join us for a reading and conversation.

“Like light from a stained-glass window, this poignant reflection on daughterhood restores wonder to everything it touches. Miller sets her disparate shards of memory side by side, offering poems and lyric essays with a candid, generous hand until a shimmering portrait of hard-won adulthood emerges. Love You, Bye, honors not only her beloved parents, but the world as they taught her to observe it, with keen, unflinching, and joyous attention.” —Marjorie Sandor, author of Portrait of My Mother, Who Posed Nude in Wartime

Brenda Miller is the author of eight essay and poetry collections, and her work has received seven Pushcart prizes. She co-authored the popular textbook Tell it Slant: Creating, Refining, and Publishing Creative Nonfiction, and The Pen and the Bell: Mindful Writing in a Busy World.

Scott Nadelson is the author of nine books, most recently the novel Trust Me, winner of the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish fiction. He teaches at Willamette University and in the Rainier Writing Workshop at Pacific Lutheran University.
