Howard Frank Mosher is the author of nine novels and a travel memoir. Born in the Catskill Mountains in 1942, Mosher has lived in Vermont’s fabled Northeast Kingdom since 1964. He has won many awards for his fiction, including Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award, the American Civil Liberties Award for Excellence in the Arts, the Vermont Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts, and the New England Book Award. Three of his novels, Disappearances, A Stranger in the Kingdom and Where the Rivers Flow North, have been made into acclaimed feature movies by the Vermont independent filmmaker Jay Craven. Mosher and his wife of forty-four years, Phillis, have a grown son and daughter. He is currently completing a Civil War-era novel, Walking to Gatlinburg, due out in 2009, which chronicles the nightmarish odyssey of 17-year-old Morgan Kinneson from northern Vermont to Tennessee during 1864.

Tue, 03/16/2010 - 6:30pm Tue, 03/16/2010 - 7:30pm Etc/GMT-5  This is the way we dream an architect could speak to us, fully
communicating his passion. The book's elegant, concise prose--as well
as its balance of the civic with the intensely personal--recalls the
Calvino of Marcovaldo and Invisible Cities. The text is accompanied by
Ponsi's own spare but evocative watercolors and sketches, which, like
his words, seek to behold rather than pin down. This lyrical tribute is
as much an ode to the lost art of contemplation as it is to Florence--a
city where every moment is different from every other moment.
