The Crookston Public Library invites the public to an author talk featuring James Thomasson, author of “Sounds from the Last Outpost: Outhouse Limericks and Country Rhythms,” a book of poems and ink art about outhouses co-produced with artist Tom Tepper.
This author talk will include a discussion of the friendship between James Thomasson, the first Protestant theologian at Georgetown University, and Tom Tepper, who served as an architect of D.C. National landmarks. One is a poet; one likes to draw. Their book started with a poem by James about Tom’s outhouse on his land in rural Rappahannock County, Virginia, for which Tom drew a cartoon. Their labor of love began over 30 years ago, resulting in a book of clever poems and ink artwork called “Sounds from the Last Outpost: Outhouse Limericks and Country Rhythms.” Books will be available for signing and purchase.
The author talk will be held on Wednesday, October 5, at 2 p.m. at the Crookston Public Library, 110 N. Ash St.
