Event Details
Join us in discussing Poets Square by Courtney Gustafson, an intimate memoir about the importance of community and care in a world that can feel impossibly broken—and a story about accidentally going viral while tending to a colony of feral cats.
When Courtney Gustafson moved into a rental house in the Poets Square neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, she didn’t know that the property came with thirty feral cats. Initially unwilling to take on their care, she was soon drawn in by their need, leading her into the world of animal rescue. Poets Square is a poignant memoir about the emotional and ethical challenges of caring—for animals, for community, and for oneself—amid personal struggles and broader systemic failures.
