Jana Zvibleman will visit Paulina Springs Books this week.

Affection is a theme throughout Zvibleman's "Irelandish." American blow-ins Jana and Bruce zigzag through the land of the redheads and develop fondness for everything from the fiddling to the ugly swans, the bouncing lasses to the screaming market mammy. Exploring the magical mundane, the couple ponders and personalizes timeless stories of today's Celts. "Irelandish" is a tender romance, a comedy of quirks, a tear-jerker, and a foot-tapper.

Zvibleman's poems, essays, stories, and images are published in literary journals, magazines, and other publications. Paulina Springs Books is located at 252 W. Hood Ave. This event is free for all ages. For more information call 541-549-0866 or visit https://www.paulinaspringsbooks.com/.
