This event is free and open to the public.
Join Kristen Case and Lewis Hyde at Brookline Booksmith for a reading and celebration of their latest edited works, Henry David Thoreau’s Kalendar and The Essays of Henry David Thoreau.
Kristen Case
Kristen Case is a poet and scholar. She is the author of American Pragmatism and Poetic Practice: Crosscurrents from Emerson to Susan Howe and three books of poetry, most recently, Daphne.
Lewis Hyde
Lewis Hyde is a poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic. A MacArthur Fellow and renowned author, his previous books include The Gift, Trickster Makes This World, and A Primer for Forgetting.
In the last years of his life, Henry David Thoreau created something new. Part blueprint for a major new work, part scientific chart, and part re-envisioning of the way we experience the passage of time, Thoreau’s Kalendar was more a tool than a text.
