10th February: Writing the Past: Memoirs and Memories with Pewter Rose
Writing Memory: Local authors Roberta Dewa and Frances Thimann will discuss their recent short story collections ’Holding Stones’ and ‘Cello’ which are concerned with memory, and the past, and have many local connections. They will read from their stories and other work in progress.
17th February: Colin Grant on ‘Negro with a Hat’
With masterful skill, wit and compassion, Colin Grant chronicles Marcus Garvey’s extraordinary life, the failed business ventures, his misguided negotiations with the Ku Klux Klan, the two wives and the premature obituaries that contributed to his lonely, tragic death. This is the dramatic cautionary tale of a man who articulated the submerged thoughts of an awakening people.
