Author and former College of the Redwoods student, Margot Genger, will be visiting CR on from 7-8 p.m., March 6 in room HU 110.Genger’s book “Shift Happens – Breakdowns During Life’s Long Hauls” is the story of her life as a long-haul truck driver who struggles with mental illness and alcoholism.“Her tales of weird and wild characters, intimidating locations, robberies and breakdowns are worthy of a picaresque novel,” said Kircus Reviews. “The overall result is, by turns, an emotionally intuitive memoir and a rip-roaring American road story in the Jack Kerouac tradition – one with a valiant protagonist that readers will root for.”Genger’s poems have been published in HSUs Toyon, HSUs Poems from the Pocket, North Coast View and the California Association for the Gifted Quarterly. #placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');You can find her chapbooks “Middle Chapter” and “Before Water Falls” in the Humboldt County Library.
