Upcoming Events
March 29, 2026: We are honored to be hosting a launch party at 7pm at Parlour Wines for Patricia Henley’s latest work, Apple & Palm. Patricia Henley is the author of three novels, five collections of stories, two chapbooks of poetry, and a stage play. Her first novel, Hummingbird House, was a finalist for the National Book Award and The New Yorker Fiction Prize. On March 29th, she will host a discussion of her work, in conversation with Kirsten Sundberg Lundstrom, author of Elita and Outer Stars. Please RSVP to our store email if you wish to attend what promises to be a wonderful event. Copies of Apple & Palm will be available at the event.
April 6, 2026: We are delighted to be hosting an author event at 7pm at Parlour Wines for Madison Park local, Janée J. Baugher. Janée is the author of The Ekphrastic Writer: Creating Art-Influenced Poetry, Fiction and Nonfiction, as well as the full-length poetry collections, The Body’s Physics and Coördinates of Yes. For her third poetry book, The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles, she won Tupelo Press’s Dorset Prize for 2026. At the April 6th event, Janée will focus her talk on The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles. Please RSVP to the store email if you wish to attend. Copies of The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles will be available at the event.
May 11, 2026: Make sure to plan to attend an author event featuring Jane Howard and her recent book, Hey Nature Lady, held at 7pm at Parlour Wines. Jane is a teacher, artist, and naturalist guide with a deep history in the Pacific Northwest islands, but also in other islands scattered around the world. Hey Nature Lady is a collection of life stories centered around adventure, creativity, and connection with the natural world. The idea of experiences unfolding across places like the Arctic, the Okefenokee Swamp, and volcanic landscapes in Hawaii makes the book feel like a journey through very different corners of the planet. Please RSVP to the store email if you wish to attend. Copies of Hey Nature Lady will be available at the event.
