ANN McCUTCHAN - 'Circular Breathing' & 'River Music'

  • Adult Event
09/26/2011 7:00 pm
 

Author & former music critic
for the Austin American Statesman
ANN McCUTCHAN
will speak & sign her two books,
Circular Breathing:
Meditations from a Musical Life

and
River Music: An Atchafalaya Story
.

 


Ann McCutchan, former music critic for the Austin American-Statesman, returns home to launch two new books -- both located in the world of music, but very different.
 
Circular Breathing: Meditations From a Musical Life
is a collection of personal essays first published in literary journals; one also appeared in The Best American Spiritual Writing 2007.  Of the collection, novelist Rosellen Brown says: "It takes more than candor to find the story amidst the miscellany of one’s life and give it shape and significance. Ann McCutchan, who knows that all meaning begins in the particular, uses her rich experience as a musician to meditate on art, memory, loss and desire with wit and insight."
 
River Music: An Atchafalaya Story, is a double biography, of a place -- Louisiana's Atchafalaya River Basin -- and a person, Cajun musician/sound historian Earl Robicheaux, who works to preserve the endangered region's singular soundscape in archival recordings and music compositions.  "Within Earl's personal story of becoming a musician and composer, there are more stories," writes Leslie Marmon Silko, author of Ceremony, " . . . histories of the rivers and swamps and how they've changed, histories of the people and cultures of the Gulf Coast, from long ago to the present.  Bravo!"
 
Ann is a professor of creative writing at the University of North Texas.  website: www.annmccutchan.com

How Our Events Work

BookPeople is proud to host over 300 events every year. Our events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise stated.

To get a book signed at one of our events, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business, but you are also showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople. Think of it this way: you wouldn't bring your own beer to a bar, would you?

For events where we anticipate large crowds, wristbands may be required in order to join the signing line. Occasionally we may also ticket events. In both cases, information as to when wristbands/tickets are available will be found on that event's specific page on our website.
