Authors Kathryn Balteff and sid sibo invite area residents and visitors to a wide-ranging conversation about their 2026 books on the outdoor deck at Bunker's Wharf. Balteff's James and Natasha is set right here on the lobstering coast, whereas sibo's (un)Familiar: stories will carry readers across the Rocky Mountains, from the country's north and south borderlands and off to Germany and Ireland as well. How we incorporate various place-specific dramas and other-than-human lives into our own sense of belonging as we settle and move and disperse is a source of endless musing.
