Gardener extraordinaire, Margaret Roach and her sister, Marion Roach Smith, will be celebrating the publication of “Sisters: An Anthology” with a reading from the book at Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge.
The reading will take place on Sunday, March 7th at 2 pm. Admission is free but you must RSVP to info@parispress.org. For directions visit berkshirebotanical.org. Margaret and Marion will also be reading from their own works.
About “Sisters”:
From childhood to old age, rivalry to devotion, hysterical laughter to tears of grief, the irrevocable bonds between sisters create a unique journey. Sisters is for anyone who knows sisters, wishes they had a sister, adores her own sister, or would, on occasion, like to trade her in.
Well-known and emerging contributors include: Margaret Atwood, Joan Baez, Jane Bowles, Catherine Chung, Lan Samantha Chang, Edwidge Danticat, Delia Ephron, Julia Glass, Jane Hirshfield, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Ana Maria Jomolca, Barbara Kingsolver, Audre Lorde, Grace Paley, Dorothy Parker, Muriel Rukeyser, Ali Smith, Alice Walker, C.D. Wright, Daisy Zamora, and many others!
Joan — how wonderful that you’ve announced the SISTERS reading at the Berkshire Botanical Gardens — with Margaret and Marion Roach! It will be wonderful. Nancy Fitzpatrick, from the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, will be joining the reading as well. And Deborah Bull — a longtime resident of Pine Plains — is one of the editors of SISTERS. Your neighbor! Hope to see you on the 7th! Best, Jan
You are always on top of all the goings-on, aren’t you, Joan? Thanks for the mention; Marion and I love this book and are so glad to help promote it and Paris Press.
Joan–Thanks for the terrific notice about “Sisters” and the heads-up about the reading. Hope to see you–Deborah
Margaret, I’m not able to make it up to the Berkshires this weekend, so I’m racing to B&N to purchase three copies for me and my (garden-loving!) sisters. If reading in the NYC area, please let me know, I’d love to bring my sisters! cphilipsny@aol.com
…And Joan, no need to prod us devotees to open your emails. TO miss one is to miss something worth knowing. You are a trusted source!
