Summer Salon! Join us for an evening of new literature, poetry, and visual art with Stephanie Davies, whose new book Surviving a Patriarchy on Steroids helps us find “islands of sanity” in an insane world; poet and meditation guide Jacinta Lanz whose new book On Our Way/En Nuestro Camino is a bilingual work that lives at the intersections of language, body, and breath; Hudson Valley award-winning poet and writing mentor Janlori Goldman who’ll read from Bread from a Stranger’s Oven; and visual artist, Nancy Ostrovsky, a “pioneer of performance painting” who in addition to being an artist who has exhibited all over the world, designed the cover art for Stephanie’s new book Surviving a Patriarchy on Steroids.

• Read along with us.
• Arrive on August 20th at 6:30 PM for our very first gathering. - Stefan, Rachel, and I will be present to facilitate the conversation.

NYT Bestselling author and chef Julia Turshen is adding romance to the menu! Please join us to celebrate her debut romance novel Down to Earth, which, as Alison Roman writes, is a “steamy modern romance for anyone who finds sexual tension in the produce aisle”! Help us close out the summer with some literature, love, and some laughs!
Yes! and as promised, Deborah Lutz is back in High Falls with her new biography, the first comprehensive biography of Emily Brontë in over two decades, This Dark Night: Emily Bronte, a Life (2026). As her publisher writes, “Emily Jane Brontë was just 27 when she started writing the wayward and electric novel Wuthering Heights. Three years later, she was dead. Out of step with her own time and remembered as the strangest of the Brontë sisters, there's much that we don't know about her - most of her papers were destroyed after her death. But as Deborah Lutz explores in this, one of the first biographies of Emily in 20 years, the writing that has survived seethes with storm and strife and with the beautifully desolate landscape of Yorkshire.”
Join us! in celebrating this extraordinary book with the author who brings us the latest scholarship on Emily Bronte, the 19th century novel, and the Victorian Age.
