A Personal History - With Fairy Tales
Thursday, May 1 | 7 PM

Join us for a spectacular event with award-winning author, Sabrina Orah Mark, writer and poet. Happily is her collection of essays on fairytales and motherhood which began as a monthly column in The Paris Review. In 2023 Happily won a National Jewish Book Award in the dual categories of: Autobiography & Memoir and Contemporary Jewish Life. It is a beautifully written memoir-in-essays on fairy tales and their surprising relevance to modern life, from her perspective — a Jewish woman raising Black children in the American South. Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Mark earned a BA from Barnard College, Columbia University. She also earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and a PhD in English from the University of Georgia. She is the author of the poetry collections Tsim Tsum, and The Babies (winner of the Saturnalia Book Prize). Her collection of stories, Wild Milk, won the Georgia Author of the Year Award for Short Story and was a finalist for the Townsend Prize for Fiction. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at the event.
