Each year, the Pushcart Prize honors outstanding writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry published by small presses. The 2023 Pushcart Prize winners include local authors Sam Cha, Maggie Dietz, and Nicole Graev Lipson. Join us at the Library to hear these three winners read their work, discuss their writing, and provide insight into the world of publishing with small presses – in conversation with Matthew Lippman, the author of six poetry collections, including the recent Mesmerizingly Sadly Beautiful.
WEDNESDAY, November 30 at 3 PM
Join us at the Brookline Village Library for a very special visit from Michelle Figueroa, local children’s book author and creator of the Good News Movement Instagram page. She will read her picture book, A Good Thing Happened Today. Michelle will also share her kindness curriculum, which is part of her Kindness Tour across the US. The Brookline Booksmith will be selling copies of her book at the event, and Michelle will be available to sign copies after the event.
This program is aimed at kids ages 4-10 and their families. It will be held in Hunneman Hall. Masks are encouraged. Free tickets are required for this event and will be available at the Children’s Desk starting at 2:30 PM the day of the event.
