- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join Zenith Bookstore as we welcome award-winning novelist Stacy Carlson on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7 pm. She will be in conversation with poet and educator, Emily August for Stacy’s new book, The Gyre. This will be a very interesting evening as they discuss the book and its fascinating background deep in the Arctic. Stacy will also have a Q&A period and will personally sign her book afterwards.

An atmospheric journey into the far northern wilds, The Gyre spins one man’s search for meaning into an astonishing saga where adventure, folklore, and the Arctic converge.
 
Arkady Afanasyev is a nineteenth-century Russian monk who aims to be the northernmost holy man in the world when he hitches a ride to Spitsbergen, a remote island considered by most to be a no man’s land. As he struggles across the tundra, he’s haunted by regret, a long-lost family, and a chorus of Orthodox saints and Slavic pagan tricksters including hearth spirits, sea demons, and the Twelve Sisters of Scurvy. Amid their uncanny influence and the great, turning, harsh natural world, Arkady is brutally and deeply transformed.
 
STACY CARLSON is a novelist, naturalist, and educator. Publishers Weekly called her debut novel, Among the Wonderful, “Intelligent, engrossing, and utterly unique.” Stacy’s essays and fiction have appeared in Tin House, Post Road, Inkwell, and elsewhere, and she has received fellowships and residencies from the Mesa Refuge, The Arctic Circle, Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and Signal Fire. Her background includes work as a historical ecologist, fish cannery worker, hot springs caretaker, and hiking guide in Big Sur. She grew up between mountains and sea in the Pacific Northwest and has lived in New England, New York, Northern California, and the Upper Midwest.
 
Emily August is an associate professor of literature at Stockton University. Her debut poetry collection, The Punishments Must Be a School, examines themes of intergenerational trauma, domestic violence, and institutional harm. Her poems have appeared in Callaloo, Cimarron Review, Hayden's Ferry Review, Missouri Review, Ninth Letter, Southern Humanities Review, and other journals. She divides her time between Lake Superior’s North Shore and the Atlantic Ocean’s Jersey Shore.
