    Whitney Hanson -- "The Love of My Life"

    Boulder Bookstore, Boulder
    See details

    At Boulder Bookstore, Whitney Hanson will discuss and sign her new poetry collection, The Love of My Life. The book follows a journey of rekindling a love for living after periods of change, disconnection, and upheaval. Guided by the imagery of fire, it is arranged in three parts titled Burning, Ashes, and Reclamation, reflecting cycles of destruction, numbness, and renewal that often accompany deep inner work. Through themes of identity, loss, healing, and emotional rebuilding, it considers what it means to unlearn inherited beliefs, confront the past, and gradually restore connection with oneself, with others, and with the world. It is not primarily about romantic love, but about reengaging with life itself. Admission is $5 plus a small processing fee. Each ticket includes a $5 coupon redeemable toward a copy of The Love of My Life or another purchase made that day, and the coupon will be provided at the event. Events take place on the second floor. To request an accommodation or discuss accessibility needs, contact events@boulderbookstore.com.
