- **Event Description**: “Revelatory. . . magical. . . Whybrow beautifully explores interconnectedness and disruption in nature.”—Maureen CorriganAbout this EventWriter, editor, and professor Helen Whybrow reads from her new memoir The Salt Stone: Seasons of a Shepherd’s Life, a profoundly moving meditation on the lessons and wisdom that come from raising a family, tending sheep, and living close to the land, set in Vermont’s Green Mountains.Registration is not required, but helps us anticipate audience size.Longlisted for the National Book Award“Revelatory. . . magical. . . Whybrow beautifully explores interconnectedness and disruption in nature.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington PostIn the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Helen Whybrow and her partner set out to restore an old two-hundred-acre farm. Knowing that “belonging requires, more than anything, participation,” they begin to intertwine their lives with the land. But soon after releasing a flock of Icelandic sheep onto the worn-out fields, Whybrow realizes that the art of shepherding extends far beyond the flock and fences of Knoll Farm.In prose both vivid and lean, The Salt Stones offers an intimate and profoundly moving story of what it means to care for a flock and truly inhabit a piece of land. The shepherd’s life unfolds for Whybrow in the seasons and cycles of farming and family—birthing lambs, fending off coyotes, rescuing lost sheep in a storm, and raising children while witnessing her mother’s decline. Exploring the interdependence of animals, as well as of the earth and ourselves, Whybrow reflects on the ways sheep connect her to place and to the ancient practice of shepherding.Evocative, affectionate, and illuminating, The Salt Stones sings of a way of life that is at once ancient and entirely contemporary, inspiring us all to seek greater intimacy and a sense of belonging wherever our home place may be.Helen Whybrow is a writer, editor and lifelong organic farmer whose book about shepherding, land and belonging, The Salt Stones, was longlisted for the National Book Award and chosen as a New Yorker Best Book of the Year. Her other titles include Dead Reckoning and A Man Apart. She has a master’s in journalism and has taught writing at Middlebury College and the Bread Loaf Environmental Writers’ Conference. She and her family farm and steward a refuge for land justice in Fayston, Vermont.
