Howard Mansfield returns to Gibson's Bookstore with his latest book, Invisible Monuments: Tribute, Memory, and the Summoning of the Past! ABOUT THE BOOKWe don’t look at most of the monuments and memorials around us. They disappear from view. Think of all the mute memorials you may pass in a week that are unseen, a blurred background to your daily commute: the green-mottled great man on his horse, hosting only pigeons; the curious obelisk looking like a stunted Washington Monument; the historical marker crowded with so many words it looks like a warning label written by a cadre of liability lawyers. So much narrative left out in the weather, so much storytelling that has lost its way. Any monument that we stand before asks something of us. Think of monuments as the first part of a call and response, as in music, as in worship. We bring our sense of history to the present, otherwise the granite/marble/limestone/bronze before us will be mute.A few monuments aren’t invisible. They speak to us, like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and in another era, the Cenotaph in London that brought forth the strong emotional response after World War I.Each chapter explores the invisibility of monuments: The forced invisibility of the African Burial Grounds in Manhattan and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which have been rediscovered. These graveyards were destroyed in keeping with America’s “mortuary apartheid.”The sad fate of the Irish immigrants building America’s railroads in the nineteenth century, many killed on the job to be buried in unmarked graves.A grieving family’s memorial to a son lost in World War II, built stone by stone on the family’s farm, which still draws thousands to an outdoor “Cathedral of the Pines.”A Ferris wheel, stopped forever after a tragic accident, abandoned to rust, which becomes a private monument for a five-year-old boy.A celebrated, much-pictured monument for the Battle of Bunker Hill that doesn’t have the emotional charge and significance it once held.An unusual monument, a tribute to the future—a clock being built deep in a mountain, a clock that is meant to run for 10,000 years.And lastly, a monument hiding on museum walls. The great landscape painters of the nineteenth century, sometimes called the Hudson River School, weren’t out to just paint pretty pictures. They were chasing a moment of insight when they would see this new nation clearly. Their paintings taught Americans how to see wilderness and laid the bounds for many of our national parks. The goal with these stories is similar to the landscape painters: the author refreshes our sight so we look anew at the monuments around us, and so we can engage in a call and response with our history. ABOUT THE AUTHORHoward Mansfield sifts through the commonplace and the forgotten to discover stories that tell us about ourselves and our place in the world. He writes about history, architecture, and preservation. He is the author of a dozen books, including The Bones of the Earth, The Same Ax Twice, Chasing Eden, Dwelling in Possibility: Searching for the Soul of Shelter, and In the Memory House which The New York Times called “a wise and beautiful book.”In Mansfield’s most recent book, I Will Tell No War Stories: What Our Fathers Left Unsaid About World War II, he “breaks through the wall of silence some war veterans maintain,” said Booklist. “The result is an impeccably researched and beautifully written account of the stories his father wouldn’t tell. Readers will find themselves in heated sheepskin flight suits and oxygen masks, high in the sky over enemy territory…. A vital and moving history of all that is left unsaid in the aftermath of war and how that affects the next generation.”Mansfield has been honored by the N.H. Humanities Council as “a gem in our granite landscape” and this fall he will receive the Sarah Josepha Hale Award. He has won a Gold Medal for Commentary for City and Regional Magazines, a silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards, and was a City and Regional Magazine Feature Story Finalist. He received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Franklin Pierce University.He has served as a writer and consultant for museums, written and performed a stage show with composer Ben Cosgrove that was the subject of an Emmy Award-winning film, and has co-written a forthcoming documentary film.“Howard Mansfield has never written an uninteresting or dull sentence,” said the writer and critic Guy Davenport. “All of his books are emotionally and intellectually nourishing. He is something like a cultural psychologist along with being a first-class cultural historian.”

She and her family have lived off the land for years, moving like shadows through the wilderness. Now her father has led them to this forgotten town, tracking the man he swears destroyed their lives. The plan is simple: strike fast, take revenge, and disappear.But when Riven knocks on Annie's door, their worlds collide.

Vermont author Ford von Reyn visits Gibson's Bookstore to share his debut novel, Love From Afar: Finland. ABOUT THE BOOK"Darting from one era to another, from one country to another, it exalts and laments the shifting landscapes of love in all its varieties. This book is so poignant it may just break your heart." -Dan Cryer, author of Being Alive and Having to Die: The Spiritual Odyssey of Forrest Church; former Newsday book criticSeventy-three-year-old Frank Cadwallader lies in a hospital bed recovering from surgery, haunted not by his illness, but by a memory he has carried for decades. When his inquisitive granddaughter asks about a trip he had taken to Finland and the Soviet Union years ago Frank is drawn back to a summer that changed the course of his life.In the mid-1980's Frank is a reputable New Hampshire ski salesman living a stable middle-class life with his wife and two teenage children. When he volunteers for a Quaker peace delegation traveling to Helsinki and Leningrad during the tense final years of the Cold War his journey promises little more than earnest conversations about the dangers of nuclear war.But before he even leaves home, language lessons with a young Russian migr begin to awaken new desires and curiosities - about art, music, language and love. Once overseas, an encounter with a beautiful Finnish woman leads to an impassioned, long-term correspondence and further unsettles his carefully ordered life. As his travels unfold across Finland and the Soviet Union the landscapes, people and ideas he encounters begin to reshape his understanding of himself and the life he thought he knew.Spanning continents and decades Love from Afar: Finland is a reflective and deeply emotional human story about longing, moral choices and the surprising moments that can alter a life forever.PRAISE FOR Love from Afar: FinlandAn absorbing Finnish-American love story with echoes of Strauss’ “Four Last Songs” and Saariaho’s “Love from Afar.” Darting from one era to another, from one country to another, it exalts and laments the shifting landscapes of love in all its varieties. This book is so poignant it may just break your heart.Dan Cryer, author of Being Alive and Having to Die: The Spiritual Odyssey of Forrest Church; former Newsday book critic Love From Afar reimagines the theme of the Finnish opera L’amour de Loin as an American falls rapidly and deeply in love with a Finnish woman. The reader learns much about the history of Finland, especially the many wars that have wracked our country in the twentieth century. Though we may be skeptical about our repeated selection as the happiest country in the world, the protagonist of this interesting story is not, as readers see Suomi through his blue-white eyes.Juhani Eskola, former Director-General of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare In Love From Afar, Ford von Reyn tells a bittersweet tale of two people first brought together by chance and then kept separate by circumstances. Frank is American, Immi is Finnish, and both have other attachments, yet they will weave a durable and touching connection through the medium of words. The book evokes an era that now feels almost lost, the time when people communicated deeply in written correspondence. Von Reyn’s affection for Finland is palpable in the story and upon finishing the book, readers may find themselves wanting to travel there themselves.Edith Forbes, author of Alma Rose and The Lawnmower Lady Ford von Reyn’s debut novel is a love affair with Finland, born out of the serendipitous encounter between middleaged Frank and Immi, who both outgrew the partners they once pledged to. Their fragile bond grows through letters, phone calls, and rare fleshandblood meetings. A polymath, von Reyn braids opera, nuclear disarmament, northern European history, and infectious disease (he is an epidemiologist by training) into a taut, haunting tale of longing and unfulfilled love.Ted Levin, author of The Promise of Sunrise: Finding Solace in a Broken World and America's Snake and winner of the Burroughs Medal for exemplary nature writing ABOUT THE AUTHORFord von Reyn is Professor of Medicine (Infectious Disease and International Health) at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. He practiced primary care and infectious disease at the Concord Clinic from 1977-1988 and served on the Board of the Concord Community Music School. He has served as State Epidemiologist for New Mexico and as an epidemiologist with the World Health Organization at the inception of their AIDS Program. His Dartmouth research on tuberculosis and HIV led to a longstanding collaboration with colleagues in Finland - and to participation in the country’s cross-country ski marathons. He continues to study the Finnish language, drawn to its unique harmonies and intricate declensions. He and his wife Sunny live on a dead-end dirt road in rural Vermont with their dog, Phebe, three Nigerian dwarf goats, and a Finnish sauna. This is his debut novel.

A heartfelt middle-grade novel about a boy navigating foster care who finds healing, purpose, and new family among the lobstering community of a small Maine island.Sully loves his mom. But love doesn’t always mean safety.After years of homelessness and uncertainty, Sully is taken from his mother and placed in foster care—thrust into an unfamiliar world with new rules and strangers who say they want to help. Inside, Sully battles two powerful forces he calls “the Sads” and “the Mads,” feelings that make it hard to trust anyone.Then he meets Miss Millie.Miss Millie sings while she cooks, holds daily “safety briefings,” and insists that Sully and his new foster brother Victor help with chores, go to church, and look out for each other. When the trio visits Miss Millie’s sister Aggie on Long Island, Maine, Sully discovers something unexpected: lobstering.Out on the water before sunrise, hauling traps alongside local lobstermen, Sully feels something he hasn’t felt in a long time—like he belongs.But just when Sully begins to believe he’s finally found a forever home, tragedy strikes again.With the help of Victor, Aggie, and the tight-knit island community, Sully learns that family isn’t always the one you start with—it’s the one that refuses to let you go.Weaving back and forth between the present when Sully is age twelve and the past at age seven when the world he has always known falls apart, this is a heartfelt story of resilience, belonging, and second chances.

Schmidt.About the AuthorRon Pedro spent the first twenty years of his career teaching high school English and serving as a school administrator in New Hampshire.

Brian Porto visits Gibson's to share his book, Twin States, Different Paths, which compares the political cultures of Vermont and New Hampshire, traces their development, and shows how they influence current policy decisions. About the BookA cultural and policy history that explains why two neighboring states developed divergent attitudes toward government and cultureAt first glance, New Hampshire and Vermont seem like mirror images. Separated only by the Connecticut River, the oft-termed “Twin States” share a common history, relatively small populations, and heavily mountainous and forested landscapes dotted with small towns. Yet despite their similarities, they have evolved strikingly different political cultures, with Vermont prizing cooperation and community and New Hampshire celebrating independence and freedom from government. Perhaps nowhere is this divergence in political visions more pronounced than in their respective state mottos: Vermont’s communal "Freedom and Unity" and New Hampshire’s libertarian “Live Free or Die.”Twin States, Different Paths explores these contrasting political cultures. Brian Porto traces these differences back to the land itself: to the geology and geography that shaped early settlement, patterns of land use, and the distinct ways people built their communities. From these origins emerged two enduring civic philosophies—New Hampshire’s devotion to low taxes and limited government, and Vermont’s emphasis on equality and shared responsibility. Bringing historical and cultural analysis together with contemporary case studies, Porto examines how these traditions influence each state’s approach to today’s policy challenges, including affordable housing and public-school funding. The result is a clear, balanced portrait of how deeply rooted attitudes toward freedom, unity, and governance continue to shape public life in both states.Written with scholarly rigor yet in an engaging and accessible style, Twin States, Different Paths fills a notable gap in the study of New England politics. It offers insights not only for scholars and students of political culture, history, and public policy, but also for general readers, policymakers, and residents who wish to understand how two neighbors—so similar in geography and spirit—continue to follow such different paths in defining the role of government and community.About the AuthorBrian L. Porto is a professor emeritus at Vermont Law and Graduate School. He holds a J.D. from Indiana University-Bloomington and a Ph.D. in Political Science from Miami University (Ohio). He has worked as an attorney in state government and private practice and has taught political science at Macalester College (MN) and Norwich University (VT). His current book, Twin States, Different Paths: The Politics of New Hampshire and Vermont, compares the political cultures of those two states, traces their development, and discusses their influence on current policy decisions. His five previous books cover topics ranging from the American legal system to the governance of college sports, to the use of classical rhetoric in U.S. Supreme Court opinions. When not writing, he walks in the woods of New Hampshire and Vermont as much as possible with his wife, Sherrie Greeley, with whom he lives in Windsor, VT.

Chris Panatier returns to Gibson's with his latest horror novel, Kill Me With Fire! Two women fall victim to a dormant curse, transforming them into feral witches. One resists, the other... doesn't.Alice is a solitary accountant with no life and one friend. Jennet is a damn-the-consequences enigma. The two are nothing alike. Until a chance encounter at a foraging outing gives them something in common: an onslaught of rapid aging and a hunger for infants.Having gone their separate ways, Alice copes by finding a number of questionable, but less morally objectionable approaches to stave off the witch growing within. Jennet's methods are decidedly more...self-serving.Despite Alice's best efforts, her path keeps crossing with Jennet's, before coming to a head in "this decade's most visceral examination of the witch" (Wendy N. Wagner), from Esquire's Best Horror of 2024 honoree Chris Panatier.Chris Panatier is an artist and writer living in the Boston area with his wife, daughter and a fluctuating herd of dog-like creatures (one is almost certainly a goat). He writes short stories and novels, including The Phlebotomist, Stringers, The Redemption of Morgan Bright, and Worry Box.Chris has also been a trial attorney in environmental cases for two decades. He represents people who have been injured, poisoned, or killed due to the conduct of others.
Brian Larson celebrates The Afterparty: An Open Invitation to Sobriety with his friend Jodi Picoult at the Capitol Center for the Arts! Tickets$45: Book with Ticket$15: Ticket (no book)Tickets will go on sale through CCA soon! ABOUT THE BOOKSobriety doesn't have to be the end of the party. It can be the beginning of a more honest and connected life.Sobriety is having a cultural moment, but for many people the actual path toward sobriety can still feel rigid, outdated, or out of reach. Brian Larson knows that tension firsthand. At twenty, coming out as gay led him toward freedom, community, and belonging. At twenty-seven, coming out in another way, as an alcoholic, felt very different. Giving up alcohol felt less like liberation than exile, until he found that sobriety could be joyful, honest, and far more expansive than he had been taught to imagine.Blending memoir, cultural critique, and practical guidance, The Afterparty explores alcohol, identity, sexuality, shame, belonging, self-trust, and connection. It offers a vision of sobriety beyond white-knuckling, punishment, or surrender, and asks what can become possible when we come home to ourselves unblurred.ABOUT THE AUTHORBrian Larson is the author of The Afterparty: An Open Invitation to Sobriety, forthcoming from Broadleaf Books on May 4, 2027. He is a writer, speaker, host of Shelf Care Society, Oprah Daily Contributor, and NBC10 Books Contributor whose work explores identity, addiction, sobriety, books, and personal transformation. He has been featured in People magazine and on The Oprah Podcast. Raised in the suburbs of Boston, he earned his undergraduate degree from Boston University and a master's in international business from The Fletcher School at Tufts University. He lives in New York City.
