Liz Blood

Magic City Books is proud to welcome Liz Blood for an in-person program to celebrate The Creative Field Guide to Northeastern Oklahoma on Tuesday June 13 at 7:00 pm in the Algonquin Room at Magic City Books.

The Creative Field Guide to Northeastern Oklahoma is not-your-average field guide featuring original creative writing, visual art, writing prompts, and art activities to get you making art based on your own experiences in nature—as well as more than 90 species native and naturalized to Northeastern Oklahoma. An excellent companion when heading outdoors, whether to the backyard or some far-flung location.
