Joining Miles in conversation will be journalist and filmmaker Peter Landesman.

“Blowback” offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges democracy faces and provides a compelling perspective on safeguarding it from potential threats.

The event is open to all and free to attend, with no RSVP required. The setting promises to be an enjoyable and engaging experience, making it an ideal opportunity for book enthusiasts.

In addition to the main event, the #poppylittles are invited to partake in fun camp activities hosted by Poppy Store at Camp Poppy.
