Jim Schley | Leland Kinsey
As When, In Season | The Immigrant's Contract
A fantastic pairing of Vermont poets! Jim Schley’s first full-length collection of poetry comprises four sequences that turn upon phases of life—youthful traveler; apprentice to insightful teachers; husband, homesteader, and new parent; and troubled but still engaged citizen of a village and the world. Leland Kinsey, hailing from the Northeast Kingdom, presents his powerful collection of linked poems. The main character embodies twentieth-century themes of displacement, work, and transformation. Leland’s verse is bold and crisp in detail. (Reservations recommended.) |

Reeve Lindbergh
Forward From Here
In her funny, brave, insightful new book, Reeve Lindbergh contemplates turning sixty. It is a time of life that produces some unexpected surprises: loss, love, disaster, and delight. “Time flies,” she observes, “but if I am willing to fly with it, then I can be airborne, too.” Age is only one of many subjects in these essays. In northern Vermont, nature is an integral part of daily life, especially on a farm. And of course there is the Lindbergh family. Reeve writes about discovering, thirty years after his death, that her father had three secret families in Europe. She travels to meet them, learning to expand her definitions of self: daughter, mother, sister—in a family more complicated than she had ever imagined.

Chris Bohjalian
Skeletons at the Feast
Skillfully portraying one of the twentieth century’s greatest tragedies, Chris Bohjalian has crafted a rich historical tapestry. Set in January 1945, in the waning months of World War II, this is the story of a small group that includes an eighteen-year-old Prussian aristocrat; her lover, a twenty-year-old Scottish prisoner of war, brought as forced labor to her family’s farm; and a twenty-six-year-old Wehrmacht corporal, in reality, a Jew from Germany who managed to escape a train bound for Auschwitz. They encounter a countryside ravaged by war in their flight to reach the British and American lines.

Spring Greetings,
The peepers are just waking up as we write this letter! We have lots of news to share, books to review, and exciting events scheduled through the summer to announce.
We are pleased to let you know that the Norwich Bookstore is now able to get out-of-print books for you. Of course our focus is on new and current titles, but sometimes a book is not reprinted and becomes unavailable very quickly after publication. We do request prepayment on these orders and they are not returnable. Please note that the process can take a bit longer than our usual turnaround time for book orders.
We invite you to stop by between 5 and 6 each Friday evening to share a glass of wine with us. Unwind from your week, talk about books and reading, and have fun! Now that the weather is warm, and it stays light later, we can even gather outside on the porch…
Hope to see you soon,
--Liza & Penny
