Ali Leibegott’s Summer of Dead Birds is an autobiographical survival kit - a raw, hilariously jaw-dropping journey of finding compassion in life’s unexpected tragedies and difficult goodbyes. Leibegott’s novel-in-verse opens with the loss of her mother in law, followed by the unraveling of her divorce. According to Leibgott, getting on with the rest of your life means gaining introspection from watching your dying dog try to lick at a dead bird whose feathers fused to the pavement. Depression, failed intimacy, animals and moving forward.

Join us December 9th for Art Book Club, where we will close out the year with a discussion based on reorientation and moving forward after life- stopping and altering experiences. We will be crafting 2019 time-capsules, so please bring personal memorabilia to add to your sentimental time capsule as we prepare for 2020!
