SUMMARY:"The Murmur of Everything Moving" Author Talk with Maureen Stanton
DESCRIPTION:Camden Public Library welcomes award-winning writer Maureen Stanton for a book talk and Q & A session featuring her recently published memoir\, The Murmur of Everything Moving\, on Thursday\, May 8\, 2025\, at 6:30 p.m. in the Picker Room. All are welcome and light refreshments will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise for The Murmur of Everything Moving\n\n\n\n“Like all the great memoirs\, The Murmur of Everything Moving\, plumbs far deeper than its immediate subject\, in this case the act of caring for and tending to one’s dying lover; with spare\, lyrical\, and wonderfully evocative prose\, Maureen Stanton lays bare here the myriad forms of love required of us when things get hard. This viscerally moving memoir is a love song and a tribute\, a hymn of praise for each sacred moment given us. It is also heartbreakingly beautiful\, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.” \n\n\n\n​ ~ Andre Dubus III\, author of Ghost Dogs\, Such Kindness\, House of Sand and Fog\, and Townie \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise For Body Leaping Backward: Memoir of a Delinquent Girlhood\n\n\n\n\n“A blazingly important memoir about the possibility of change.” ~ People Magazine “Best New Books” pick \n\n\n\n“Powerful and Probing . . . a compellingly honest coming-of-age memoir.” ~ Kirkus \n\n\n\n“Sharp\, candid\, and deeply felt.” ~ Boston Globe \n\n\n\n“Well-told\, insightful.” ~ BookPage \n\n\n\n“Memorable and beautiful.” ~ Shelf Awareness \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaureen Stanton is the author of The Murmur of Everything Moving: A Memoir (CSU Press\, 2025)\, winner of the Donald L. Jordan Prize for Literary Excellence\, forthcoming in March 2025; Body Leaping Backward: Memoir of a Delinquent Girlhood (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, 2019)\, winner of the Maine Literary Award\, and winner of a Massachusetts Book Award in nonfiction for Killer Stuff and Tons of Money: An Insider’s Look at the World of Flea Markets\, Antiques\, and Collecting (Penguin\, 2012). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHer essays and creative nonfiction have been widely published in literary journals and anthologies\, including in The New York Times\, Fourth Genre\, Creative Nonfiction\, New England Review\, Florida Review\, River Teeth\, Sport Literate\, Crab Orchard Review\, The Sun and many others.  \n\n\n\nShe’s received an Iowa Review prize\, The Sewanee Review\, Pushcart Prizes\, the American Literary Review nonfiction award\, the Thomas J. Hruska award in nonfiction from Passages North\, the Penelope Niven Nonfiction Award from Salem College Center for Women Writers\, a Mary Roberts Rinehart Award\, and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, Maine Arts Commission\, the MacDowell Colony\, and the Virginia Center for Creative Arts.
