Author To Discuss Life on a Small Family Farm

Michael Perry, a rural writer from Wisconsin, twill read from and discuss his book Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting at the Colgate Bookstore Tuesday at 7 p.m.

He is also the author of:

  • Population: 485: Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time (2002)
  • Off Main Street: Brainstormers, Prophets, and Gatemouth's Gator (2005)
  • Truck:a Love Story (2007

Perry has also written for Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Salon and a variety of magazines.
