Launch of Charlene Diehl’s Out of Grief, Singing: A Memoir of Motherhood and Loss

The THIN AIR Winnipeg International Writers Festival Director Charlene Diehl is launching her new book Out of Grief, Singing: A Memoir of Motherhood and Loss on Thursday, October 7 at 8:00 pm in the Prairie Ink Restaurant at McNally Robinson Booksellers in Winnipeg.

Out of Grief, Singing: A Memoir of Motherhood and Loss is an achingly beautiful memoir where we catch a glimpse into the life of a woman coming to terms with the loss of her newborn. After a series of rapid diagnoses and emergency interventions, Charlene’s daughter Chloe is born, but her too-brief life is spent in the neonatal intensive care unit, and her mother, leveled by an epidural anaesthetic procedure gone wrong, can only barely make it to her daughter’s side. With a poet’s ear for language, Charlene Diehl shares her discovery of joy amidst a devastating loss.

Charlene will be reading from the memoir with accompaniment by the renowned Steve Kirby Trio.

The Prairie Ink Restaurant is located in the McNally Robinson Booksellers at 1120 Grant Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
