Time is Always Now

Burlington

Thursday, August 15 at 7:00 pm

Join Rebecca Starks to celebrate the launch of her new collection of poetry, Time is Always Now.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Rebecca Starks's Time Is Always Now unfolds against a backdrop of nature, often permeated in unexpected ways with the human dynamics of family, neighborhood, and nation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rebecca Starks grew up in Louisville, Kentucky and has since...
