WEST BRATTLEBORO — Suzanne d'Corsey and Charles Butterfield will read from their newly published works on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m., at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in West Brattleboro. The authors will autograph purchased books during refreshments following the reading.
The event is free and open to the public.
D'Corsey's novel, The Bonnie Road, is set in Scotland at St. Andrews. D'Corsey transposes the old ways of Scotland into the 20th century and discusses the ancient traditions and beliefs that still undergird the modern world.
Formerly congregational administrator at All Souls, d'Corsey has published poems, plays, and short stories. She lived in Scotland for a decade and earned a Master's degree in Medieval History from the University of St. Andrews.
Butterfield's memoir, Seeking Parmenter, A Memoir of Place, is set in Antrim, N.H., where he grew up during the World War II-era, working his family's centuries-old farm. In his book, he reflects on both his experiences as a boy farmer and on the changes that have taken place on the land since.
His reading will be accompanied by slides. Butterfield, a graduate of the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College, is author of two poetry collections, a biography, and also short fiction.
