"Haunted Times Two: The Story of Mr. Joe" Conversation with Jane Congdon
(Special Events) Have you ever been haunted? The term haunting can describe the tune that stays with us, but does no harm; a hair-raising visit from a disembodied spirit; or even persistent, harsh reminders of our own imperfect past. Joseph Barnett was haunted by two out of three. The ghosts he saw as a school custodian made his heart pound, but a lifetime of perceived failures threatened to destroy his spirit: A ghost can haunt you for months on end, but your mistakes can haunt you all your life. Come join author Jane Congdon and the RCAH Center for Poetry for an afternoon conversation about Mr. Joe, the writing of memoir, and the difficulties/delights of telling someone else's story.
