Voted “Ohio’s Best Arts Festival,” The Black Swamp Arts Fest
is held in the heart of downtown Bowling Green every September. A juried art fair, youth activities, and free concerts by nationally known musicians make this a popular event for the locale as well as surrounding regions.
On Thursday, September 4, 2014, long-time BG resident Anesa Miller will help kick off the festival weekend with a reading and book-signing at Grounds for Thought Coffeehouse, 174 S. Main St. in Bowling Green. The event begins at 7 PM. Admission is free.
Among other work, Anesa will read her essay “That Summer,” which describes the local scene in the months before 9/11. Anesa’s books will be available for purchase, including her new novel, Our Orbit, which was just released in July 2014. Also on sale will be To Boldly Go: Essays for the Turning Years and A Road Beyond Loss: 3 Cycles of Poems & an Epilogue.
