Have you read the VT Reads book Gather? Join the Jeudevine in welcoming writer Jim Schley for a discussion of the book!

Schley has been leading book discussion groups for twenty years and has taught for Community College of Vermont and The Frost Place, where he was executive director. At Dartmouth College he majored in Literature and Creative Writing and minored in Native American Studies, and he has an M.F.A. in poetry from Warren Wilson College.

He has worked as a book editor for many years, previously for University Press of New England, Chelsea Green, and Tupelo Press, and presently for Wesleyan University Press, Brandeis University Press, and New Directions. He is regular contributor to Seven Days, and is the author of the poetry chapbook One Another (Chapiteau, 1999) and a full-length book of poems, As When, In Season (Marick, 2008). He lives with his family on a land cooperative in South Strafford.

We have limited copies of the book available at the library while supplies last. If you have a copy to share, please bring it back to the library and we will recirculate it ahead of the book discussion! We will be accepting food donations for the food pantry at the event if you would like to bring something shelf stable to contribute.

This program is generously supported by the Vermont Humanities and presented in partnership with the Hardwick Equity Committee and the Hardwick Area Food Pantry.
