Evening with the Author Series

Author: Mark Doty

Date: 9/4/08 (Thursday)

Location: Program Place
(4th Floor)


There was a great turnout for this author series. Mr. Doty captivated the audience with selected readings from his novel Dog Years: a memoir. This memoir was about the relationship between Mark Doty and his dogs and how they helped him through good times and bad. This adventure can be related by all, regardless of if one is a pet-lover or not.

Those in attendance got a chance to chitchat with Mr. Doty and present questions like the following:
..."what influenced his writings?"
..."did he still have his dogs?"
..."what is next in his lineup of writings?"
