Join the Atlanta City Studio and author Hannah S Palmer to discuss July’s book club selection, The Pool is Closed: Segregation, Summertime, and the Search for a Place to Swim. The Pool Is Closed is a book about water: where it flows and where it floods, who owns it, and what it costs. It’s also a story about embracing parenthood in a time of environmental catastrophe and political anxiety, of dwindling public space and natural resources. It chronicles a year-long quest to find a place to swim and finding, instead, what makes shared water so threatening and wild.
