Book Launch: Marion Winik's The Big Book of the Dead

Join us for a family reunion of sorts as we celebrate Marion Winik's new volume of collected work, The Big Book of the Dead, with longtime friends Marion and Naomi Shihab Nye! The book opens with an epigraph from Naomi's Voices in the Air -- these books and these writers belong together.
