The Promise of Sunrise: Finding Solace in a Broken World by Ted Levin with artist Jeanette Fournier
​
​
Former Bronx Zoo zoologist and award-winning nature writer Ted Levin spent COVID rediscovering his valley and the joys of watching the season pass, day by day by day. The book is a chronicle of his rediscovery of the Thetford, Vermont hillside on which he lived and a recounting of the daily joys of observing home ground as Levin (like many of us) was forced by COVID to stay home for nearly two years.
Ted Levin
Ted is also the author of Backtracking: The Way of a Naturalist, Blood Brook: A Naturalist’s Home Ground and Liquid Land: A Journey Through the Florida Everglades, among other works of nonfiction. He won the Burroughs Medal in 2004, the highest literary honor awarded to an American nature writer. Past winners include Rachel Carson, Roger Tory Peterson, John McPhee, Aldo Leopold, and Archie Carr. The award is given once in a writer's life. Promise is his sixth book for adults. He has written five for children. Ted divides his time between the deck and the road.
​
Local artist Jeanette Fournier will join us, to display her illustrations from the book. Jeannette is a self-taught artist whose watercolor paintings are inspired by her passion for and love of the natural world. She specializes in illustrative drawings and paintings of animals, birds, and nature, which reflect a distinct and original style.
