SUMMARY:Launch Party with Anne Colwell | Broken Heart Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Online & In-Person\n\n \n\nJoin us in the library or online for 
 a launch party and reception with Anne Colwell\, author of Broken Heart 
 Syndrome\, a collection of connected short stories revolving around a 
 small\, local hospital in the beach community of Lewes\, Delaware\, all 
 influenced by the loss of Jeff Donahue\, a marine biologist who dies in a 
 cycling accident. For  Colwell\, death doesn't end relationships but 
 transforms them. Her characters live lives haunted by ghosts\, and yet they 
 all eventually choose to suture up their despair for a chance at 
 restoration. Joining Anne in conversation is Maribeth Fischer\, founder and 
 executive director of the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild.\n\nAnne Colwell is 
 the author of the poetry books Believing Their Shadows and Mother's Maiden 
 Name. Her work has appeared in numerous journals\, including Bellevue 
 Literary Review\, California Quarterly\, Southern Poetry Review\, and The 
 Madison Review\, and she is the recipient of fellowships from the Delaware 
 State Arts Council\, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, and the 
 Bread Loaf Writers Conference. She is a professor of English at the 
 University of Delaware.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Rehoboth Beach 
 Writers Guild.\n\nWe invite you to support the author by purchasing a copy
