Fred Chapell and As If It Were

Join us in the bookstore for a reading with North Carolinian author and poet Fred Chapell and his wife, Susan. Inspired by ancient, modern, and contemporary writings, Fred Chappell’s sprightly new collection of verse, As If It Were, presents tales, anecdotes, pointed stories, and aphorisms to spark the conscience of readers young and old. Chappell illustrates how the fable offers a timeless form of wisdom, surprising us with revelations that challenge what we think we already know, along with fresh observations of daily experiences. This event is free and open to the public.
