SUMMARY:Seaside Series: Jim and Emma Krosschell
DESCRIPTION:.   \n.     \nFather and daughter team\, Jim and Emma Krosschell\, will present poetry from their respective books\, Man Afield\, published by Prolific Pulse Press in March 2026\, and Hermitage\, published by Littoral Books in October 2024. \nProceeds from book sales will be donated to Island Heritage Trust and Stonington Public Library. \nAbout Man Afield \nMan Afield is a lyrical journey through the living world\, guided by a “backyard” naturalist attuned to both wonder and warning. These poems chronicle spiritual and physical excursions into landscapes larger than any one mind or body — places where awe\, joy\, disorientation\, and reckoning intertwine. \nMan Afield is at once a field journal\, a meditation\, and a love song — to earth\, to home\,and to the fragile bond between them. \nAbout Hermitage \n“In Hermitage\, Emma Krosschell inhabits a liminal space\, somewhere between her mind and the living world of hemlock\, crows\, snow\, wind\, tides and stars. These are poems that begin in silence\, and draw us into those moments when the world comes alive before her eyes. She is\, above all\, a witness\, and we become witnesses along with her in this place where the finite\, mortal self meets something greater. She is listening intently\, seeing deeply\, and her heart is wide open.” – Stuart Kestenbaum\, Former Poet\nLaureate of Maine \nAuthor Bios\nJim Krosschell has published a collection of poems\, Man Afield\, and two collections of essays\, One Man’s Maine\, which won a Maine Literary Award\, and Owls Head Revisited. He lives in Deer Isle\, ME and Newton\, MA\, and is a Board member for Island Heritage Trust and on the Advisory Council for Coastal Mountains Land Trust in Camden. \nEmma Krosschell lives in Brooksville\, Maine\, with her partner and their dog. She spends her time wandering in the woods and baking as much bread as she can. Hermitage is her first collection of poetry. \n\n\nThe rain venue for all Seaside Series programs is SPL\, 64 Main Street.
