On February 16, author, playwright, poet, educator and artist, Larry D. Giles will discuss the book he is writing about his childhood memories of growing up in rural Essex County and the Northern Neck. Larry’s poetry and creative nonfiction often center on family, on reinvention and preservation of culture and community, rural Virginia life along the Rappahannock, and on personal resilience and strength, with sometimes mystical multicultural inter-weavings.
