SUMMARY:Book Tour: Murmur\, Cameron Barnett
DESCRIPTION:In this walking tour inspired by local writer Cameron Barnett’s poem “Swisshelm Park\,” we’ll explore the complicated history of this neighborhood at the southeast corner of Pittsburgh. We’ll learn about how this area developed over time\, its connections to the Underground Railroad\, the press\, and the coal industry. Barnett will be an integral part of the tour\, walking with us and reading from his work\, while sharing insight into how his childhood here shaped his development as a writer. Barnett will also read new original work on this tour. \nAbout the Book Tour Series\nBook Tour\, a series of literary walks designed by writers Hattie Fletcher and Sherrie Flick and commissioned by Shiftworks Community + Public Arts\, serves to explore\, reveal\, revise\, and renew perceptions of Pittsburgh and the writers and writing it has inspired. Literature\, like public art\, enriches knowledge of neighborhoods\, landmarks\, and the city’s cultural history\, shaping a person’s view of a place. \nFocusing on books by well-known authors who have become notable figures in the national literary canon\, and the work of up-and-coming contemporary writers\, we’ll experience Pittsburgh as a landscape of texts and gain fresh perspective on books and the idea of writing about place. \nAdditional Information\nThere are no public restrooms available for this tour. The walking route is easy\, and we ask participants to wear good walking shoes.
