Lise Saffran’s novel Juno's Daughters was published by Penguin/Plume in 2011, and her fiction and nonfiction works have appeared in a variety of literary and academic journals, including Poets and Writers, Orion, Academic Medicine and Medical Humanities. Saffran is a graduate of both the School of Public Health at UNC (now the Gillings School of Global Public Health) and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Her creative work explores the essential question at the heart of public health: How do we balance our need for autonomy with the responsibilities of community life?
She will read an excerpt from a collection of essays-in-progress titled Safe in These Bodies.
DARETH GOETTEMOELLER
Dareth Ann Goettemoeller is a resident artist at Orr Street Studios
and an art therapist with a master's degree in art therapy from Emporia State
University in Kansas.
Goettemoeller has been running art therapy groups in
Columbia for the 10 years. She specializes in working with adults
and loves watching childlike joy bubble up from a room of stressed
adults as she guides them in healing art activities.
All
art activities are healing, but there is a special magic that happens
when working with a trained art therapist. As we enter the winter holiday season, she will guide us in developing skills for coping and healing through art.
Orr Street Studios is located at 106 Orr St. in downtown Columbia, Missouri. Join us the third Tuesday evening of each month during the academic year for literary readings and visual-arts presentations.
