Adult Book Club

The Adult Book Club will read “A Thousand Mornings: Poems” by Mary Oliver.

In “A Thousand Mornings,” Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has come to define her life’s work, transporting us to the marshland and coastline of her beloved home, Provincetown, Mass. Whether studying the leaves of a tree or mourning her treasured dog Percy, Oliver is open to the teachings contained in the smallest of moments and explores with startling clarity, humor, and kindness the mysteries of our daily experience.

The discussion will occur at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 28, in the downstairs meeting room.
