Cutting back on screen time? If so, spritz, wipe, and polish those dusty readers and join us this weekend at 29th Annual Southern Festival of Books.
As usual, the Humanities-Tennessee-sponsored festival will be held on the lawn of War Memorial Auditorium and Legislative Plaza. This year, however, the Southern Festival of Books has teamed up with Watkins’ Handmade and Bound Festival, a yearly festival that celebrates DIY printing (so it’s a two-for-one literary festival special, you really can’t go wrong). There will also be used book dealers, cooking demonstrators, a songwriters’ stage, and of course, several intimate panels with book signings from the acclaimed novelists, biographers, and short-story authors.
For a complete list of the authors who will be in attendance and a schedule of panels and events, check out the Humanities Tennessee website here.

When I create, I often think of what Johannes Itten said, “He who wishes to become a master of color must see, feel, and experience each individual color in its endless combinations with all other colors.”. I’m also inspired frequently by love and loneliness and want folks consuming my work to be encouraged to start paying attention to the little details in everyday life, appreciate the simple things, and let them eventually inspire you! Ultimately, I’m just trying to become a mother fuckin master of color.
