Celebrate the start of One Book’s 12^th year with a reading and talk by author Kevin Powers and an evening of theater and music. The event will feature a screening of vignettes from In Conflict, a critically acclaimed drama drawn from interviews by Iraq War veterans and adapted by Temple University professor Douglas C. Wager from a book by award-winning journalist Yvonne Latty. The program will conclude with a special performance of an original musical composition inspired by The Yellow Birds, written by Alyssa Weinberg of the Curtis Institute of Music and performed on cello by Curtis student Tim Petrin.
