DeepDive | An Evening with Janisse Ray | Lockerly Arboretum | Macon, Georgia

This is part of the Book Club & Speaker series. It will be held at historic Rose Hill.

Janisse Ray is best known for her book Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, chronicling her childhood growing up in Baxley, GA, alongside the natural history of the longleaf pine. But she has authored over a dozen books, including The Woods of Fannin County and The Seed Underground. She has received the Pushcar Prize, an American Book Award, the Green Prize for Sustainable Literature Award, Nautilus Award, and Arlene Eisenberg Award for Writing that Makes a Difference. Janisse’s lecture will focus on her forthcoming book, Journey in Place. How we come to call a place home, and weave into our identity.
