New Hampshire Humanities

The 14th annual One Book One Valley, a community read program for the Mount Washington Valley and surrounding towns, will be held in 2019, and will once again be supported by a Community Project grant from New Hampshire Humanities. This year's book is Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family by Amy Ellis Nutt. Nutt is the Health, Science & Environment reporter for The Washington Post.

“Sometimes ‘tell me more’ are the most generous words you can tell somebody.” 
- Terry Farish

You could say Terry Farish is a story whisperer.

For Farish, a writer, poet, and author, life is about words and storytelling.  But perhaps one of her greatest gifts is the ability to gently coax and nurture words and images from those who don’t know how to tell their story– or believe that their story even matters.

 Ideas on Tap, our series of pint-sized conversations about big ideas, is back for a second season! Join us for drinks, appetizers, and a lively community conversation in a casual pub setting. All events will be held 5:30-7:30pm. Tickets are $15 per person and include appetizers and one beverage (beer, wine, or a non-alcoholic beverage). 

Writing united us. But could we actually pull off a reading? Yes, with help from some poets before us.
