Next Wednesday, Astoria author Flor-
ence Sage will discuss her newest book,
“The Man Who Whistled, The Woman
Who Wished: A Polish-Canadian Story,”
during a virtual event via Zoom. The
meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on June 2.
Sage’s book features poems and prose
inspired by her family and her own expe-
riences as the daughter of first-genera-
tion Polish-Canadian parents. Sage grew
up with her parents in Ontario, Canada.
The poems span from World War II and
the following three decades.
During the event, Sage will answer
interview questions, then answer partic-
ipants’ questions during a Q&A. Partic-
ipants will be able to send questions via
chat through Facebook. Participants who
join the Zoom call can ask Sage ques-
tions directly or via chat.
