Event Details

Join the Through Their Eyes Book Club in reading Carry by Toni Jensen. Toni Jensen grew up around guns: As a girl, she learned to shoot birds in rural Iowa with her father, a card-carrying member of the NRA. As an adult, she’s had guns waved in her face near Standing Rock, and felt their silent threat on the concealed-carry campus where she teaches. As a Métis woman, she is no stranger to the violence enacted on the bodies of Indigenous women. In Carry, Jensen maps her personal experience onto the historical, exploring how history is lived in the body and redefining the language we use to speak about violence in America. (Amazon)

Through Their Eyes Book Club meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
