JOYCE DYER
The Ellet Branch library welcomes Joyce Dyer author of Goosetown: Reconstructing an Akron Neighborhood. Goosetown, once a physical location in Akron, Ohio, and a place in Joyce Dyer's childhood world, still lingers on the edge of the author's perception. Dyer lived her first five years, the most significant five, some would say, in Goosetown, and had dismissed them as irrelevant because she couldn't recover the images.
Goosetown is a story of recovery, a story of discovery, and a story of melancholy. Take a ride with the Mayor of Goosetown. You'll enjoy the scenery!
Joyce Dyer is Director of the Lindsay-Crane Center for Writing and Literature at Hiram College in Hiram, Ohio, and John S. Kenyon Professor of English.
Author signing following the program. All ages welcome. No signup necessary.
