KPC Showcase to feature discussion with Alaska author Susan Pope

Pope will discuss her memoir “Rivers and Ice: A Woman’s Journey Toward Family and Forgiveness”

At the next Kenai Peninsula College Showcase, set for Wednesday, Alaska author Susan Pope will be featured and will discuss her memoir “Rivers and Ice: A Woman’s Journey Toward Family and Forgiveness.”

A release from the showcase describes Pope as a writer “shaped by growing up in the wide and wild landscape of Alaska.” Her work has been featured in various publications, magazines and journals.

“Her stories reveal the tension between a desire for intimate ties to home and community, and a longing to flee to faraway places,” it reads.
