Megan Grumbling Signing

Sherman's Maine Coast Book Shop
158 Main Street
Damariscotta
08/12/2017 | 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Megan Grumbling will be signing copies of her book, Booker’s Point, at Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta on August 12th at 1pm, stop by!!

Bernard A. Booker, old Maine codger and unofficial mayor of Ell Pond, knew the right ways to dig an eight-foot hole, build a maple sugar house out of a water heater, and snatch good white granite from other people’s back lots. The wry Yankee woodsman is the subject of Booker’s Point, an oral history-inspired portrait-in-verse. Weaving storytelling, natural history, and the poetry of place, this collection evokes the sensibility of rural New England, meditations on home and elders, and, above all, the pleasures of a good story.
