Literacy of the Heart

I am pleased to announce that I will be in conversation with poet and teacher Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian on March 29, 2017 at Kepler's Books in Menlo Park at 7:30 pm.

The times we live in require us to develop a "literacy of the heart"- a deeper quality of listening, discerning, and connecting heart to heart and soul to soul. Literature itself, both poetry and prose, plays a timeless role in awakening our hearts to deeper truths we may otherwise miss.

Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian and I will talk about the ways reading, writing, and listening can bring forth profound questions, surprising graces, and the palpable presence of radical hope. I will discuss selections from And the Mountains Echoed, and Yogacharya O'Brian will read from her recently released award-winning book of poems, The Moon Reminded Me.

This event has limited seats --so get your tickets early.

Sheetal Mittal Khaled, I love your books. I have two questions.
1. When is your next book coming?
2. When are you coming to India?

I am sorry but sometimes I just want to kidnap you, lock you up in a room, and ask you to write your next book exclusively for me. :)

message 15: by Sandra (new)

Sandra I have loved all your books, but I believe the Kite Runner is the perfect novel. I have read it several times and each time revealed a new theme and immersed me deeper into the story. Two questions please, when will you be publishing your next work and when will you be in the Seattle WA for an author reading?


message 16: by Susan (new)

Susan Same question about your next book. ;-)

I'm in North Carolina at the moment, and hope to leave for NE China in July. You would be most welcome in either place.

Sounds like you are ready for a Global Tour!!
