Homing—Exploring a Sense of Place in Southwestern Pennsylvania
Thursday, October 24, 2024, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Rivers of Steel, Pittsburgh, PA
ABOUT THE EVENT
Join Rivers of Steel for a special evening in conversation with writer Sherrie Flick. Her latest publication, Homing: Instincts of a Rustbelt Feminist, is a collection of autobiographical essays that traces her journey from her hometown of Beaver Falls to her cultivated home on the South Side Slopes, with time spent living on the East Coast, West Coast, and a significant stop in between. While reflecting on the experiences that shaped her, Flick offers insights on culture, characters, and place—with a special emphasis on the fabric of southwestern Pennsylvania.
Guiding the conversation with Flick is Amy Camp, who as a trails and tourism consultant is a woman who knows how to explore a sense of place. Also an author and fellow Beaver County native, Camp describes herself as having come up “a town and a decade apart” from Flick.
