Trace Ramsey’s All I Want to Do is Live personalizes common themes of survival, depression, and life in America at a time of division and upheaval. In this collection of essays, flash nonfiction, and poetry, Trace examines his family history and shows us how darkness can trickle through generations. Through his writing, he works to move beyond abuse and mental illness to find what is worth passing on to his children.

Trace will read from his new book and be available for a discussion about parenting while dealing with mental illness.
