Wine and Conversation with Cate McGowan

mcgowan

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.
