Join us and author Kevin Powers at the Safety Harbor Public Library on June 18th!

“The author, himself a Virginian and a combat veteran, skillfully weaves threads of love, friendship, and senseless death into a compelling and often emotional tale where the price of love is paid with sorrow. A deeply affecting novel.”

If you need something to read for Memorial Day, make it The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers. Beautifully written with lyrical prose. Read it and remember.

"Even if you don't usually read war novels, make an exception for Kevin Powers's searing, evocative debut....Powers asks haunting questions that reconnect us with the reality of combat and its aftermath." --Gina Webb, Atlantic Journal-Constitution

And then join us for a conversation between Kevin Powers and other Iraq War veteran Aramis Calderon, Author on June 18th at the Safety Harbor Public Library Foundation as they discuss Kevin Powers' newest historical fiction, Children of the Wild.

"With the spare and exquisite prose and the profound insight that made The Yellow Birds a landmark work of American fiction, Kevin Powers illuminates the savage, complex, and timeless bonds of loyalty, honor, and heroism. Children of the Wild captures what it means to be human in times of loss—and how, even in darkness, the light of friendship and love endures."
