SUMMARY:Mud Season Speaker Series - Vermont Reads Book Discussion: "The Light Pirate"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachael Cohen\nIn partnership and taking place at the Brooks Memorial Library\nFree Event \nJoin us for a thoughtful\, guided conversation centered on The Light Pirate\, a novel that follows one girl’s life as climate change reshapes Florida’s coast—and the meaning of home\, resilience\, and community. This 90-minute facilitated discussion creates space to reflect together on the book’s themes\, characters\, and emotional impact\, while connecting the story to our own experiences and concerns about a changing world. \nParticipants will explore themes such as climate adaptation\, loss and belonging\, intergenerational wisdom\, and how people respond—individually and collectively—to environmental change. No prior discussion experience is needed; all readers are welcome\, whether the book moved you deeply or left you with lingering questions. Come prepared to listen\, reflect\, and engage in a meaningful exchange inspired by this powerful and timely novel. \nRachael Cohen has been a freelance editor specializing in environmental and regional studies\, a teacher of writing\, literature\, and natural history\, a caller of contra dances\, and a farm hand. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from Cornell University and a Master of Science in Environmental Education from the Audubon Expedition Institute/Lesley University. When she’s not teaching for the University of Michigan’s New England Literature Program\, held each spring at a camp in New Hampshire\, she’s a caretaker in southern Vermont. \n
