Join author Lois Perch Villemaire as she reads from poetry and prose book My Eight Greats.
About the Book
My Eight Greats is a hybrid collection of poems, prose, and photos highlighting ancestors and childhood memories.
The book can be described as an exploration of how we are touched, sometimes in our imagination by places, objects, and experiences tied to family members —even those we have never met.
