SUMMARY:Emily Franklin | Love & Other Monsters.
DESCRIPTION:The NWPL and Yankee Bookshop welcome Emily Franklin to talk about her newest novel\, Love & Other Monsters. \nIn the stormy\, scandalous summer of 1816\, daring eighteen-year-old Claire Clairmont changed the course of literature forever. But then — unlike her stepsister Mary Shelley — she was forgotten\, until now. With searing relevance to our here and now — of celebrity worship\, climate disaster\, of complicated femininity\, Love & Other Monsters is the untold origin story of Frankenstein\, a feminist reckoning of sisters\, survival\, and the creation of monsters — both those on the page and those who walk among us. \nEmily Franklin is the bestselling author of more than twenty books\, including a poetry collection\, Tell Me How You Got Here. Her work has been published in The New York Times\, The Boston Globe\, The Kenyon Review\, and The Journal of the American Medical Association\, read aloud on National Public Radio\, named notable by the Association of Jewish Libraries\, and longlisted for the London Sunday Times Short Story Award. Her novel The Lioness of Boston\, based on the life of trailblazer Isabella Stewart Gardner\, is in its tenth printing. \nYankee Bookshop will be on hand with copies of Love & Other Monsters.

SUMMARY:Michael J. Caduto | The Day the Pond Flew South
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning writer and educator Michael J. Caduto will read his new picture book\, The Day the Pond Flew South. It tells the story of Loon\, who lands on a small pond from which there is no escape\, though her friends try everything they can to help her fly away. As winter sets in and the pond begins to freeze\, the birds invent an ingenious plan that will take every single wingbeat to save their friend. \nAfter reading the book\, the author will share a Tsimshian tale from Alaska about a loon that restores a blind man’s sight and is rewarded with the gift of its beautiful necklace. Participants may create their own “loon’s necklace” of string and beads to symbolize their relationship with this remarkable bird. \nCo-hosted by Yankee Bookshop; books will be available for purchase and signing.

SUMMARY:Ethan Tapper | The Forest Year: Finding Hope in a World Worth Saving
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Tapper knows what it means to care for a forest ecosystem. In The Forest Year: Finding Hope in a World Worth Saving\, he explores the practices of staying\, caretaking\, and paying attention. \nThe Yankee Bookshop and Norman Williams Public Library are excited to welcome the author back to Woodstock with his stunning follow-up to the award-winning How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World. Both place-based and practice-driven\, Tapper writes not as an armchair philosopher or an academic\, but as a working forester and ecologist stewarding real forests in real time\, blending emotional insight with ecological rigor. \nWith lyrical meditations across all four seasons\, we experience the beautiful interconnectedness of flowers\, birds\, fungi\, and trees\, and come to see how each is part of a living\, breathing whole. Grounded in close observation and a deep sense of place\, Ethan shows how tending the land is also a way of tending ourselves. At a time of uncertainty\, The Forest Year offers a gentle\, sustaining vision: that by becoming rooted—by noticing\, returning\, and caring—we can find both meaning and resilience in the natural world. \n+++ \nEthan Tapper is a forester\, ecologist\, digital storyteller\, and author. For more than a decade\, Ethan has been recognized as a thought-leader in the world of ecosystem stewardship\, winning numerous regional and national awards for his work. He works\, writes\, hunts\, birds\, and runs a small consulting forestry business from his home at Bear Island—his 175-acre working forest\, homestead\, orchard\, and sugarbush in Vermont—and plays in a punk band. \n+++ \n“So much humility and wonder shines through Tapper’s prose…a well-earned\, luminous\, and ever-more-precious tribute to this northern forest.” — Helen Whybrow\, author of The Salt Stones
