Join Cate McGowan for wine and conversation to celebrate her debut collection, True Places Never Are, at Writer’s Block (124 Welbourne Ave, Winter Park) from 6pm-8pm on Friday, July 10th.
In her debut collection, Cate McGowan introduces us to a passenger manifest, an assortment of characters voyaging through loss and salvation. The book’s title borrows from Melville’s Moby Dick: “It is not down on any map; true places never are.” McGowan’s characters are off the chart; they venture into wondrous worlds as knotty and distressing as the places they aim to leave.
