Bookmarks is thrilled to host Margaret Atwood on virtual tour for her new collection of poetry, Dearly. We are grateful to Wake Forest University for their support with this event.

This event is ticketed and requires a book purchase in order to attend. Our event copies of Dearly are special editions only available to event stops on this tour. Once you purchase a copy of Dearly below, Bookmarks staff will register you for the event (within 48 hours). The virtual event will take place on Crowdcast and the time will be Eastern time. You will receive an email confirmation of your event registration from Crowdcast.

Please note: The Bookmarks team processes each order individually, including event registrations. Within one day of your order placement, a team member will register you for the event and you will receive a separate email (to this same email address) with the event login and password. Although we do our best to process same-day event orders, if your order is placed within 24 hours of an event start time, we cannot guarantee that you will receive event log in information in time to watch the event. For Crowdcast events, you can access the recording after the live broadcast. 

We are thrilled Margaret will be in conversation with another Bookmarks favorite, Madeline Miller. Madeline Miller was born in Boston and attended Brown University where she earned her BA and MA in Classics. She lives in Narbeth, PA with her husband and two children. The Song of Achilles was awarded the Orange Prize for Fiction and has been translated into twenty-five languages. Her latest novel, Circe, was the winner of the 2019 Indie Choice Award, shortlisted for the 2019 Women's Prize for Fiction, named one of the Best Books of 2018 by NPR, The Washington Post, People, Buzzfeed, Time, Entertainment Weekly, and many others. Both of her novels have been book club favorites at Bookmarks.

About Dearly:
In Dearly, Margaret Atwood's first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood's fiction--including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others--she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry. This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.
