Blurb about Dana's book she'll be reading from:
Offerings by Dana Salvador is a tender, honest depiction of life and oft overlooked rural America through the lens of a young woman's coming of age. Through narratives of lost limbs and misplaced innocence amid a backdrop of 'broken, golden stalks' of harvested cornfields hemmed by 'narrow country roads' and 'cow trails,' this collection deftly examines the dual nature of attachment: that which we love, which enables our growth and freedom of expression, can tie us to a life outgrown. Honoring the hard-earned successes of neighbors overcoming, or succumbing to, adversity and celebrating tender gestures such as that of a father who keeps his daughter's folded poem in his breast pocket ready to share, Offerings provides voice to a shrinking population and vanishing way of life." -- Lisa Hase-Jackson, author of Insomnia in Another Town and Flint & Fire.
