Take part in a Cold Mountain book discussion, with a special focus on the natural world.

Cold Mountain is a novel about Inman, a wounded civil war soldier who deserts the Confederate Army and embarks on a brutal journey through the South to return to his true love. Join us for a book discussion of Cold Mountain with a special focus on the natural world and the role that our very own William Bartram plays in the book. Participants will also be led through brief creative prompts designed to enhance their understanding of the novel.

The class is free. All registered participants will receive a free copy of the book.

Led by Kalela Williams of the Free Library of Philadelphia. Space is limited. Register today at landscapeunbound.bpt.me or by calling 215 729 5281 x112.
