I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song: Jen Delos Reyes

Inspired by Jen Delos Reyes newly released book, I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song: How Artists Make and Live Lives of Meaning, the summer project took place in a small geodesic dome on the Marylhurst University campus. Each day, Delos Reyes served cocktails in the dome during happy hour and discussed the ideas in the book. Invited artists also hosted events and talks each day, and on Sunday, July 31, Delos Reyes gave a reading from her book.
