CANTON SUNY Canton is continuing its Virtual Living Writers Series this spring with a diverse lineup of writers who offer unique perspectives on death, corporate America and gender power dynamics.
The first guest will be African-American author and NAACP Image Award recipient Sheri Booker, who will read excerpts from her dark comic memoir Nine Years Under: Coming of Age in an Inner-City Funeral Home at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24. At just 15, Booker began a summer job at Wylie Funeral Home in Baltimore and was immersed in a world that made her privy to intimate moments of grief and despair as families grappled with loss, as well as humerous moments of comic relief.
