Knowing Your Place: The State of Maine and Its Sense of Place

A Special Discussion at the Thomaston Public Library

Wednesday, July 17, 7:00 pm

Thomaston, Maine - Come join a discussion with writer Sandra Sylvester, a native Mainer and former Rockland resident, who is the author of The South End, a novel, and the blog “Beyond the South End.”

We will discuss Maine's strong regional culture, one which cultivates in us a unique “sense of place." Culture should do this anywhere; why is Maine's appeal so unusually strong? Why do we have these strong feelings, and what aspects of Maine are their true source? Why do visitors from away love us?

Sandra will discuss the topic in relation to her book The South End. She will have books on hand for sale and signing. If you already have an unsigned copy, please bring it with you and Sandra will be glad to sign it.

Strong audience participation is anticipated and welcomed.

Please join us and let's figure out Maine's magic.
