Join us for an author talk, reading, and Q&A with Kristie Billings. Kristie Billings comes from a long line of lovers of the sea: fishermen, clamdiggers, and sardine packers. The ocean is home. Sea Witch: Photographs and Poetry From a Mainer Growing Up is her book of images and words of the sea, nature, folk art, dolls, loss, grief, love, acceptance, rage, music, life. From punk rock to menopause to swimming with seals! Kristie is a poet, a photographer, and a year-round swimmer. She is currently living in Ellsworth, Maine, and a native of Stonington, on Deer Isle. A great lover of music, of art, and life, Kristie is drawn to beauty, even in the most ordinary, mundane way. She is drawn to what others may pass by, unnoticed.
