April 24, Wednesday, 7 p.m. Join artists Jackie Abrams and Deidre Scherer as they discuss their work. Connections is the latest installment in BMAC’s occasional “Dialogue” series of collaborative exhibitions. Abrams is an artist who builds colorful vessels from such materials as sand, silk fabrics, wire, and recycled plastic bags. Scherer works primarily in thread on cloth. To create each object, Abrams and Scherer agree on the general shape and size of the vessel. An image of the original fabric portrait by Scherer is printed onto heavy cotton paper. The printed image is cut into strips and carefully woven back together by Abrams as a three-dimensional vessel. Sometimes other materials, such as copper wire or transparent plastic film, are incorporated into the weaving. The resulting vessels’ strong forms and subtle textures reflect the character that the human body acquires with experience and time.

Village Square Booksellers welcomes Vermont author Elayne Clift who will launch her newest book, Around the World in Fifty Years: Travel Tales of a Not So Innocent Abroad, on Thursday April 25 at 6pm. Elayne will also have a photo album her from Thailand travels. “All my life I have disagreed with David Henry Thoreau: Unlike him, I definitely think it is “worthwhile to go around the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.” Thus begins writer Elayne Clift’s 13th book, Around the World in Fifty Years: Travel Tales of a Not So Innocent Abroad, a collection of selected stories about her global travels, told in prose and poetry. Clift’s travel memoir is not a Fodor’s Guide. It shares personal stories, vignettes, photographs, and postscripts that range from poignant to hilarious. There are scenes from Indian railway stations to rural Romanian villages. Along the way readers meet the people who made her travel special, ranging from a professor in Jordan to a desert driver in Dubai to an elderly artist in France. One reviewer has called the book “a treasure of armchair travel.” A popular writing workshop leader and lecturer, Clift is widely published internationally. Her columns appear regularly in two New England newspapers and on various blogs, and her stories, poetry, travel writing, and essays have frequently been anthologized. Her novel, Hester’s Daughters, based on The Scarlet Letter, appeared in 2012 and her third short story collection, Children of the Chalet, received the Award for Excellence in Fiction from Greyden Press in 2014. Clift continues to agree with Mark Twain: Travel is still enticing, not least because it is “fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” Like Mr. Twain, whose account of one trip gave us Innocents Abroad, she thinks “it would be well if such an excursion could be got up every year and the system regularly inaugurated.” Call 802-463-9404 for book and event reservations or pre-order a book online at Call 802-463-9404 for book and event reservations. Order online – pick up & pay at the store: https://www.villagesquarebooks.com/book/9781945091988 About the Author: Elayne Clift, a Vermont Humanities Council Scholar, is an award-winning writer and journalist whose work appears in numerous publications internationally. A regular columnist for the Keene Sentinel and the Brattleboro Commons, a book reviewer for The New York Journal of Books, and a regular contributor to Vermont Woman, Artscope Magazine, and the syndicated Women’s Feature Service, her work has appeared in The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor and The Chronicle of Higher Education, among other publications. Clift, who formerly worked internationally on public health, communications, and gender issues, published her novel, Hester’s Daughters, based on The Scarlet Letter, in 2012.
