Andrea Hadley, author of the memoir Turning Toward Death, will be featured with Morgantown Poets Thursday, May 17, 7 pm at MAC. An Open Mic follows immediately thereafter.
After securing a BA in philosophy and MA in counseling, Hadley found herself in 1993 divorced, convicted of murder, and locked up in a West Virginia penitentiary. Now living a stable and productive life, Hadley was encouraged by friends to write her story. Published in August 2011, Turning Toward Death is the result of pushing the raw events of her life through the healing filter of language to uncover order and meaning in what had been a very chaotic life.
Raw Dog Screaming Press, in association with Morgantown Poets, will be hosting a book release party Friday May 25 from 7 – 9pm at Monongalia Arts Center. The event is free and open to the public.
Based in Baltimore, MD, Raw Dog Screaming Press is dedicated to putting into print the highest quality literature from the fringe, featuring the best in bizarre, surreal, and experimental writing. USAToday.com listed them among the Top 10 indie releases of 2011.
