Booksigning with Rural Life author Verlyn Klinkenborg

On Friday, October 25, Point Reyes Books will present writer and journalist Verlyn Klinkenborg in a reading and booksigning from "More Scenes from the Rural Life" at 7 p.m. at the Point Reyes Presbyterian Church, 11445 State Route One, Point Reyes Station. Admission is free.

Verlyn Klinkenborg’s editorial column “The Rural Life” is one of the most read and beloved in the New York Times. Since 1997, he has written eloquently on every aspect, large and small, of life on his upstate New York farm, including his animals, the weather and landscape, the trials and rewards of physical labor, as well as broader issues about agriculture and land use behind farming today. Klinkenborg’s pieces are admired as much for their poetic writing as for their insight. More Scenes from the Rural Life gathers over 150 of Klinkenborg’s best pieces since his last collection, The Rural Life, was published a decade ago
