“The Work of Hands and Hearts” is an intimate, one-night literary event celebrating the dignity, struggle, and spirit of working people through poetry and fiction. Acclaimed poet Aaron Fagan and award-winning fiction writer Patrick Dacey will share selections from their work that explore labor, class, and the everyday beauty found in persistence. The reading will be followed by a moderated conversation and audience Q & A, offering insight into how each author approaches the lives and language of work in contemporary America.
The Blue Ridge Mountain Room is in the upper level of Franklin Hall. Parking is available along Ferrum Mountain Road (behind Grousbeck Hall or the Panther Grounds campus store) or Wiley Drive (just past Adams Lake and Franklin Hall).
