Shanna McNair’s debut novel “Soul Retrieval” is a postmodern re-imagining of Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet”. The novel includes 16 original art pieces by McNair, which will be displayed at University of Maine at The Emory Center Gallery, along with other new pieces. Prints of the artwork and the black and white hardcover and full-cover edition of “Soul Retrieval” will be for sale. MORE ABOUT “SOUL RETREIVAL”

McNair returns to her alma mater to read from her novel and display art—at the same spot where studied both Art and Creative Writing for her dual bachelor’s degree.

The Soul Retrieval afterparty: 7:30-10 PM at the fab farm-to-table eatery, Root Down Market in New Sharon! Drinks and apps are on the house.
