Today, we are in a monumental struggle. What seems like an extreme political power play is considerably more significant than that. Beneath the endless debates about policies, economics, religion, and culture, something more profound is unfolding—a spiritual reckoning—a call to action.

In the face of global chaos, we must embrace our interconnectedness and take meaningful action while remaining strong.

In this workshop, Keeping Your Sanity, we will share and explore strategies for caring for our mental and spiritual health, strengthening our resilience, and remaining informed while contributing in ways that will make a difference.

Please bring pens and notebooks.

Lunch is included.

An Economist Best Book of 2024!

Tickets Required.
Tickets $15: Include a complimentary glass of house wine, beer or non alcoholic beverage plus a $5 voucher towards the purchase of THE EDITOR at this event.

Author Sara B. Franklin and Alice Quinn will discuss Franklin's book THE EDITOR - the story of the woman behind some of the most important authors of the 20th century. During her more than fifty years as an editor at Alfred A. Knopf, Jones nurtured the careers of literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike, and helped launched new genres and trends in literature. At the forefront of the cookbook revolution, she published the who’s who of food writing: Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child.

Sara B. Franklin is a writer, teacher, and oral historian. She received a 2020–2021 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Public Scholars grant for her research on Judith Jones, and teaches courses on food, writing, embodied culture, and oral history at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. She is the author of The Editor, the editor of Edna Lewis, and coauthor of The Phoenicia Diner Cookbook. She holds a PhD in food studies from NYU and studied documentary storytelling at both the Duke Center for Documentary Studies and the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. She lives in Kingston, New York.

Alice Quinn, executive director of the Poetry Society of America for eighteen years, was also the poetry editor at The New Yorker from 1987 to 2007 and an editor at Alfred A. Knopf for more than ten years prior to that. She teaches at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and is the editor of a book of Elizabeth Bishop’s writings, Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments, as well as a forthcoming book of Bishop’s journals. She lives in New York City and Millerton, New York.

The White Hart Inn is a fully wheelchair accessible space with on-site van accessible parking. Microphones and speakers will be used at this event.
