English professor to discuss newest book
Jeff Gundy, a professor of English at Bluffton University, will present a program Thursday, Dec. 3, on his newly published book of poems, “Abandoned Homeland.”
Beginning with refreshments at 3:45 p.m., the event is free and open to the public in Bluffton’s Musselman Library Reading Room. Afterward, Gundy will sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase.
