Around Great Barrington
Long before cell phones, Facebook, and e-mail, the penny postcard was an inexpensive, yet effective way to send brief thoughts and interesting images to friends and family. Today these vintage "snail-mail snapshots" are considered historic treasures, offering insight into our remarkable past. Startling changes have occurred in South Berkshire since the first picture postcards were mailed at the dawn of the 20th century. In Around Great Barrington, rarely seen views of Great Barrington, Housatonic, Van Deusenville, and nearby villages provide a fascinating portal into our past. Residents and visitors will find amazing sights and plenty of surprises inside this book.
Great Barrington Here & Gone
A core strategic goal of the Great Barrington Historical Commission is to present programs that heighten public appreciation of the town's rich architectural and historical resources. With the issuance of this comprehensive study documenting sites of clear cultural merit that are no longer with us, distinguished local historian and author Bernard A. Drew has not only taken us a giant step forward in realizing this goal but made a cogent case for identifying and preserving structures, artifacts, and open spaces that give our town its distinctive identity. A record of what structures no longer exist or have been altered beyond recognition, and which recounts the reasons for their demise, can only engender public support for preservation and influence our decisions about the future of our built environment.- from the Foreword, Paul W. Ivory, Great Barrington Historical Commission

A Grief Sublime
This work of creative nonfiction begins with the moment the author, Beth Robbins, is informed of her husband's sudden death in a car accident. Her navigation of grief becomes a hero's journey and ultimately leads to rediscovery. Her lyrical style brings readers into the direct and immediate experience of deep tragedy as well as literature. Robbins enters into conversation with Keats and Whitman, Melville and Dickinson, discovering through these writers that grief has amplified life's spectrum, welcoming her into the realm of literature where imagination meets experience in new and profound ways. This heartbreaking story is ultimately hopeful and transcendent, transforming despair into a new experience of life and a recognition of the love that remains after death.
