About the event
Author bio:
C.G. Rennie is the author of the short story and poetry collection Aria for a Grasshopper. This collection of short written works and poetry unfolds like an aria; layered, expressive, and unapologetically human. Through themes of loss, survivorhood, and the quiet violence of political and corporate systems, it challenges the beliefs we inherit and the norms we're expected to perform. Each piece is crafted with precision and wit, balancing raw emotion with creative defiance. After enduring a season of profound loss, C.G. Rennie made a promise to turn pain into purpose and finally pursue her own dream of becoming an author. This debut book is not just a milestone; it's a testament to resilience, creativity, and the magic of storytelling.
