Fresh out of Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA)'s Common Ground Fair, we're feeling excited about organic, rural living! If you attended and were also inspired by the vast variety of farmers and gardeners that exhibited, you can continue learning by joining Cynthia Thayer at the Monroe Library on October 5th.

WE'RE GOING HOME is Cynthia's poignant memoir about life, love, and tragedy with her late husband and organic farming partner, Bill. The adventures they shared on Gouldsboro's Darthia Farm is enough to make any of us want to decamp to Downeast and pick up a shovel, but Cynthia's memoir excavates the powerful emotions of the period where it all fell apart. Through joys, tragedies, and the cycles of life on a farm, Cynthia's memoir tells the powerful story of the community that she and Bill built together, and a life lived in connection with the Earth's abundance.

WHERE: Monroe Community Library, 8 Swan Lake Ave, Monroe, ME 04951
WHEN: Sun, Oct 5, 2025, 4 PM

We are proud to be sponsors of this incredible event celebrating storytelling in Maine. As one of the few independent publishers in Maine, we work closely with the MWPA to elevate Maine literature by improving access to learning and educational opportunities for writers.

"What is a story that changed your life, a story that you carry always? On Tuesday, October 7 at 7:00 PM, five people connected to Maine, each well known in different ways, will give us a taste of their most vital stories, talk about why they have held onto them, and consider what these stories might give us for our collective future..." (Read more on Mainewriters.org)

This event is a beautiful microcosm of the work being done at MWPA. A broadly inclusive community event characterized by authenticity, with good storytelling at the center. By attending this fundraiser, you are directly providing education and resources to emerging writers and future fellows, as well as helping provide resources for MWPA's free programming and events like the Maine Lit Fest, which will return in the fall of 2026.

We are so excited to present the stellar novels of Ann Joslin Williams, forthcoming by Islandport Press in May 2026.

New release SKYLAND is a deeply moving novel that illuminates the complex ways we survive the unthinkable and slowly, painfully, learn to live again.

For the first time in paperback, DOWN FROM CASCOM MOUNTAIN is William's haunting debut novel about loss, healing, and the power of place to both wound and restore us.

Set against the rugged beauty of coastal Maine and the mountainous landscape of New Hampshire, these two beautiful novels of literary fiction illuminate powerful truths about grief, family (both chosen and not), love, art and "fierce, hard-won joy... as sturdy as the mountains of New Hampshire, and as glorious." - Michael Byers, author of LONG FOR THIS WORLD and PERCIVAL'S PLANET
