Join author, illustrator, and bookseller, Emily Poole to celebrate her book Cascade of Life: An Artist's Seasonal Guide to the Wild Northwest on Thursday, September 10th at 6:30pm.

Cascade of Life invites readers to step beyond the typical field guide and into a deeper dialogue with the natural world. Artist and naturalist Emily Poole explores the wondrous variety of the Pacific Northwest—from rocky shorelines to alpine slopes to arid steppes—through the rhythms of the four seasons, spotlighting species that are especially active at different times of year. Original illustrations and essays feature popular species like gray whales and Anna’s hummingbirds, as well as overlooked or misunderstood plants and animals, such as pickleweed and coyotes.

Book Recommendation from Ashley:

A man wakes up floating in the ocean, at first unable to recall how he got there. He has no raft, no clothes but a pair of boxers, and nothing to cling to but his inner turmoil surrounding the fractured relationship he has with his mother, the love of someone he can’t commit to, and what turns out to be a razor-sharp will to live.

Did I mention this is a comedy? You’ll keep turning the pages to find out how his 20-hour battle with the sea ends. I laughed out loud as I read this delightful novel in two sittings.
