The Blue Hill Library and Blue Hill Books will present a talk with Maine author Rylan Hynes, in conversation with Bill Carpenter, on Thursday, June 11 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss Rylan's new book Grafting. Set against the Edenic beauty of New England, Grafting unfolds through dual perspectives in a lyrical narrative that mirrors the art of joining two trees to create something stronger. A voice-driven and unforgettable tale of queer love and rural identity, this exquisite debut explores the cost of forbidden desire and the resilience required to claim one's authentic self. This event is free and open to all. Blue Hill Books will be on site with copies of the book available for purchase. For more information contact Kayleigh at kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net or 374-5515.
