ATHENS CULTURAL CENTER READING SERIES
Authors Arielle Greenberg & Rachel Zucker
Saturday, October 1st, 8:00 PM
The authors, both poets, educators, and home childbirth
advocates, read from their recent book, Home/Birth: a poemic.
“What does it mean to have a home birth? In this new book, poets
Arielle Greenberg and Rachel Zucker give us an unconventional
conversation between two friends and mothers as they try to
understand their own birthing experiences and the options
available to women.”--Maureen Ewing, Mindful Metropolis
Reading curated and introduced by Rebecca Wolff
