February 9, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Get Back Up (once more)"

Lynne Zotalis's talk will relate to her book, "Get Back Up (once more)". "

"I find myself struggling, as most of the people I talk to do, struggling to actually have the positive attitude and outlook we need to weather our present societal miasma. Little did I know how prophetic the title of my book would be. We are somewhat adrift, attempting to navigate these complicated seas of confusion. So, every day, maybe every hour, we need to give ourselves a pep talk and find a way to survive and even thrive these next years," Zotalis said.

A pep talk is what she will try to offer the audience, including playing the piano and singing, "Smile, Though Your Heart is Aching."

Lynne Zotalis is an award-winning author and poet. She is the chairperson for the Silver City chapter of the New Mexico State Poetry Society. Her publications include the R.H. Cunningham Short Story Contest, poetry in Tuck Magazine, Glissando, www.writinginawoman'svoice.blogspot.com, and The Poetic Bond VI, VII, VIII and IX. Mysterious Existence is her poetry collection published in 2022.
