Be inspired by the writerly longings of Jo March from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women:  “I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle—something heroic, or wonderful—that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I don’t know what, but I’m on the watch for it, and mean to astonish you all, some day. I think I shall write books…” 

Mysteries of Imagination: Louisa May Alcott & Mary Oliver Thursday, September 29 at 7:00 – 8:00 pm
