HARDWICK – Discuss “The Light Pirate” with other readers at the Jeudevine Memorial Library on Tuesday, March 24, at 5:30 p.m., with Vermont Humanities Speaker Rachael Cohen. “The Light Pirate” by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a dystopian coming-of-age novel following Wanda, a girl born during a catastrophic hurricane in Florida, as she navigates a rapidly changing, climate-ravaged world. Structured in four parts; power, water, light and time, the story explores resilience, adaptation, and nature’s reclamation of a society in collapse.
Cohen has been a freelance editor specializing in environmental and regional studies, a teacher of writing, literature, and natural history, a caller of contra dances, and a farm hand. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from Cornell University and a Master of Science in Environmental Education from the Audubon Expedition Institute/Lesley University.
This event is free and will be held in the Parker Ladd Community Room at the Jeudevine Memorial Library, 93 N. Main Street, in Hardwick. For information, contact the library at (802) 472-5948.
