Author Ryan Stovall will be at the Rangeley Public Library Wednesday, September 6th, at 6:00 PM to share from his book Black Snowflakes Smothering a Torch. Stovall's book of poetry aims to facilitate dialogue between those who have experienced the crushing arms of war and those who have not. Black Snowflakes presupposes that many issues veterans face when reintegrating come not from the veteran's traumas but from the hypocrisies inherent to American civilian culture itself. As such, Black Snowflakes represents an invaluable starting point, one that will serve as both a reference for civilians seeking to understand and as a voice for veterans hoping to explain.
