Open Book to Host Ellie Roscher Book Launch and Reading of The Embodied Path

Local author Ellie Roscher will be reading from her new book The Embodied Path: Telling the Story of Your Body for Healing and Wholeness on December 6 at Open Book, 1011 Washington Avenue S. Doors open at 6:30pm, and there will be a program starting at 7pm followed by a book signing.

In this book, Ellie tells more than 20 body stories, woven together with her own body insights. She covers stories ranging from a woman who sees her hijab as an extension of her body to a front man in a funk band who views his entire body as his instrument; from a quadriplegic woman who became a lawyer to advocate for herself to a transgender man who underwent a gender transition after birthing two children. The book does the essential work of resistance and repair at the individual and communal level. It also includes discussion questions, writing prompts, and breath and body practices.  

Ellie Roscher is the coauthor of 12 Tiny Things and author of Play Like a Girl and How Coffee Saved My Life. She hosts the Unlikely Conversations podcast and teaches writing at The Loft Literary Center. Ellie holds an MFA in writing from Sarah Lawrence College and an MA in theology from Luther Seminary. She lives in Minneapolis with her spouse and sons.
