Author David M. Carroll at Mainstreet Bookends

On Friday, June 8, at 7PM David M. Carroll will be at Mainstreet Bookends of Warner for a presentation/celebration of the re-publication of SELF-PORTRAIT WITH TURTLES, his fourth (of five) books, which has been out of print for over ten years.

David will discuss this process, and read some selections from his book, which was termed “Radiant… “ by Book Page.

David will welcome questions and comments. A book signing will follow his remarks.

Other reviews included, “[Carroll] proves himself the master of the memoir… in his inspired and eloquent evocation of a particular American landscape – the hills and bogs of the north country – he recalls the nineteenth-century writer who chronicled, in vivid detail, the days as they unfolded at a pond we have come to know as Walden”; and “[Carroll is] a wonder, a nature writers nature writer.  He is a marvel. I read him rejoicing.” Ted Hoagland.

Maxine Kumin wrote,
“The thrill of this well-crafted memoir lies in the story of Carroll’s single-minded pursuit of his passion.”
