North Carolina Native and Brooklyn denizen, Patricia Starek, marries two passions: teaching and writing. Her career as a poet began quietly as a teenager navigating change and weaving her reality into metaphor. In 1996, she moved loudly into the slam arena as a member of the Asheville, NC slam team. Higher education brought her to New York City, and she has since performed through the city, across the United States and internationally. She holds a master’s in special education from Bank Street College of Education and taught in the NYC public schools dedicating her professional work to those locked out of the magic of words.
Walker Bass participated in the Writer’s Loft program at MTSU from 2011-2013 and studied for a year with Rebecca Gayle Howell in 2016. Nature, mindfulness, work with the Enneagram, and spiritual leanings influence his writing.
This event is free and open to the public. Books are available for purchase.

“No one writes female friendship like the luminous Marie Bostwick. When a group of friends decide to read Betty Friedan’s blockbuster, The Feminine Mystique, the words on the page serve as a rally cry to action for Margaret, Viv, Bitsy, and Charlotte. Long before women were recognized for their contributions and talents, Bostwick carves an unforgettable path for her characters in The Book Club for Troublesome Women. At its heart, this is a novel about ambitious women and the mentors that inspired them to excellence. This story is a time capsule of what was, which shows us who we are today.” Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Good Left Undone

“A scholarship kid with straight A’s and big dreams, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she’d be someone. But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as an SAT tutor for the super-rich of Los Angeles.
Everything changes one Sunday, when she arrives for her weekly lesson at the Victors’ Beverly Hills estate and, in lieu of a bored teenager, find the bloody remains of the parents strewn through their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help within a closet. As Evie works to free her, the two are spotted-and within moments, they go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives.” Harper Collins

“Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. Ina’ gift is to make everything look easy, yet all of her accomplishments have been the result of hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail. In her unmistakable voice (no one tells a story like Ina), she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges, adventures (and misadventures) and unexpected career twists, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose.” Penguin Random House
