Cover of 'Landings: a Crooked Creek Farm Year' by Arwen Donahue

The essayist and artist Arwen Donahue has written and illustrated a truly magical memoir.

Arwen Donahue is a graphic artist, writer, and farmer. That's right, Arwen and her husband operate a small farm in Kentucky. Her book "Landings" is a reflective and poignant reminiscence-she looked back at one year of living on their heavily wooded acreage.

Each pithy written entry is accompanied by one of her dazzling water color and ink depictions of their lives in this rural locale. Her connection to that land and the beauty of her surroundings are exquisitely wrought in this heartfelt memoir.

And Arwen has a link to WYSO. Listen to the interview to discover her connections to this radio station.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.
