Start: 2:00 pm
End: 3:00 pm

Julie Dozois will autograph and talk about The Apple Pie Thief, her children’s book about a rabbit family in Deering, N.H. whose quiet country life is disrupted one day by a neighbor’s child who is stealing the apple pies they’ve made. The rabbit family considers whether to inform the other family of their son’s very unusual thievery or to just let it go. Their decisions belie the moral fiber of their family and of those in the neighborhood during tough economic times.

KEENE - Matthew Guenette signing his book *Sudden Anthem*
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm

Join Among the Elms Writer's Group for a poetry reading and discussion with Matthew Guenette. Matthew is the author of Sudden Anthem, winner of the 2007 American Poetry Journal Book Prize from Dream Horse Press.

Denise Duhamel says, "Sudden Anthem is a raucous, boisterous song of praise. Matthew Guenette's outrageous poems romp across the page then make a beeline for your gut, your heart, and your intellect. Guenette is both a nimble purveyor of pop culture and a singer of the most intimate of songs. Sudden Anthem is a deliriously witty collection."
