Big Read Juneau book discussion Wed. Nov. 3 at noon

November 1, 2021 – FYI
Continue to celebrate the Big Read Juneau with Juneau Public Libraries by participating in a virtual discussion of “An American Sunrise” by Joy Harjo. Pick up a free copy at the public library (while supplies last) or borrow a copy online through Alaska Digital Library. The next discussion is Wednesday, November 3 at 12 p.m. via Zoom. Register here: bit.ly/JPLbookdiscussion
Some discussion questions to think about:
  • How does the difficulty and importance of being ourselves play through the poems in the book?
  • How do the varied forms of the poems add to their impact?
  • As a reader did you find yourself surprised by what you felt and discovered in reading this book?
