Session Abstract
“Hush. Be quiet,” writes Margaret Renkl. “The long summer day is coming to a close, spooling up its lovely light, but there is nothing to fear from the night.” This session on the contemporary writer Margaret Renkl focuses on her book Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss. The panelists will discuss Renkl’s book from a variety of perspectives: examining her lyrical evocations of family and place, homes and journeys, time and nature; articulating a theology of hospitality and the role of memory in thinking of place; describing her influence in contemporary American nonfiction and journalism.
