Book Signing: “America 250” by Glenn Proctor

Join us on Thursday, September 10, for a book signing of AMERICA 250: COMPETENT. COMPLACENT. CONTRADICTORY. CARING. COPING. CREATIVE. CRITICAL. One Man’s Curiosity About the Great Experiment: A City on a Hill, a poem by Glenn Proctor.

“America, we want to love you…we want you happy, full of aspiration, effort and good will, yet you’re hard to love. I’ve felt, seen and heard your joy and pain displayed in our crayon box of achievers, beggars, believers, critics, haters, sinners and souls seeking possibilities. Neither hammer nor rose, this work is dedicated to ALL OF US!”
