Prose and poetry writer Kathleen McGookey reads from her works at the Michigan Writers Series

Prose and poetry writer Kathleen McGookey reads from her book of poetry about living in France called "Whatever shines". She talks about finding inspiration in the photographs and journals of her grandparents, writing about her grandfather's Alzheimer's disease and his work to save Purple Martins. McGookey reads from her most recent work, an unpublished children's book. The recording ends abruptly and is incomplete. She is introduced by MSU Librarian Peter Berg for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series.
