Author Talk: Deborah Lee Luskin Speaks about her memoir, Reviving Artemis

Join author Deborah Luskin as she discusses her memoir, Reviving Artemis: The Making of a Huntress. Reviving Artemis is the unlikely story of a literature teacher that raised domestic livestock, kept bees, and cultivated fruits and vegetables, who, at the age of sixty, was overtaken by a primal urge to step out of the garden, off the blazed trails, and into untracked forest to learn to hunt deer. Deeply personal, lyrically told, and funny, Reviving Artemis reveals Luskin’s ambivalence about guns and her fear of entering the forest alone in the dark.

Briar Patch Books will have copies of Reviving Artemis for sale at this event.
