Event Details

Susan Fox Rogers writes from a fresh perspective: the seat of her kayak. The Hudson River and the communities along its banks become partners in Rogers’s life and vivid characters in her memoir. In a fluid, engaging voice, My Reach mixes the genres of memoir, outdoor adventure, natural and unnatural history. She integrates moments of description and environmental context with her own process of grieving the recent deaths of both her parents. The result is a book that not only moves the reader but also informs and entertains.
