Work Lunch with Lee Bains at Pebble Hill

Presented by the OLLI at Auburn Brown Bag Series and the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts and Humanities, stop by Pebble Hill for Work Lunch with Lee Bains on Oct. 21 from 11:30-1 p.m. In his debut poetry collection Work Lunch, Alabama poet and musician Lee Bains draws on his own experience at the intersection of work and food, the daily ritual of a workday lunch. His poems explore the multifaceted and often contradictory nature of Southern culture and values through the lens of food, whether at a meat-and-three or a taquería. In sprawling, long-form poems, Bains mines subjects of family, the often invisible work of service, and the horrors and comforts of fast food chains.
