Join us TOMORROW at 2:00 for an event with poet Garrett Ashley! Across these poems, Garrett Ashley follows how ecology, lived experience, and history gather over time into what we call home, and into both the natural and built environments we share.

We are still reeling from the wonderful event last night with Kathryn Stockett and Ellen Daniels! Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and location changes to make this night so special. The Calamity Club is “good old fashion southern story telling” at its best with a quick moving pace and a vivid cast of characters. We’ve got plenty of signed copies available if you weren’t able to make it, so just give us a call, stop by in person, or order online!

Thank you to all who came to celebrate 50 years of Lemuria Books! Authors, family, friends, and patrons. You are what Lemuria is today. It was a day of celebration, reminiscing, and dreaming of the stories still to be told. Here’s to the next chapter. 📚
