Hello:

The Maine Studies Program at the University of Maine is pleased to invite
Maine readers (and librarians) to the third installment of our popular
speaker series, "Framing Maine: Conversations with Storytellers and
Imagemakers from the Pine Tree State." In this event, on Thursday, November
8th, three authors will explore Maine as a setting and inspiration for
their work.

*Please note the special offer for Maine library staff and volunteers
described below!*

*Description*
"An Eye for Detail" will feature Camden husband-and-wife authors Paul
Doiron and Kristen Lindquist reading selections from their work. They will
be joined onstage by their friend Monica Wood for a Q&A about how Maine
places and people are featured in their writings, from Paul's crime novels
to Kristen's poems and essays.

Live music will accompany Paul and Kristen during their readings, provided
by Susan Ramsey and Ruth Fogg. Susan and Ruth regularly play their violin,
guitar and cello music alongside poet Paul Corrigan of Millinocket,
although this is their first time with Paul and Kristen.

The event will include a free reception at Miller's Cafe of the Collins
Center for the Arts from 6-7, followed by the reading and Q&A at Minsky
Recital Hall from 7-9 pm. A book signing will follow the event; a selection
of books will be available for purchase.

The UMaine Bookstore is also offering a special promotion for this event:
with any book purchased from these authors, buyers receive a coffee mug of
their choice plus other small gifts. The bookstore closes at 5:00 pm on the
day of the event, but will have the authors' books available for several
days before and after November 8th.

Tickets to this event are free, thanks to the support of several generous
sponsors. However, pre-registration is required due to limited seating and
reception space. For more information and to reserve your tickets, go to
