An Evening with Joseph Hurka

We are excited to celebrate the publication of English lecturer Joe Hurka's memoir, On the Invisible Palm of God: https://vineleavespress.myshopify.com/products/on-the-invisible-palm-of-god-by-joseph-hurka (Vine Leaves Press), with a reading, conversation, and Q&A.

On the Invisible Palm of God explores Hurka's deep, lifelong mentorship and friendship with acclaimed short-story writer Andre Dubus, who taught Hurka during his undergraduate years and encouraged him to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop. The story is about an enduring friendship, and the hidden resilience of the human spirit that resides within all of us.
