Brattleboro's a lovely city that I fell in love with immediately when I visited it this summer. I wish I could attend.

I was in Ludlow this June and first half of July and got out right before the floods. I hope it didn't scar Brattleboro up too much.

Well the festival was awesome. I will mention certain authors but I 'd love to know what made you fall in love with Brattleboro?
I love this town so much I won't leave. I think it's the Geomancy ( Greek: γεωμαντεία, "earth divination")
well, maybe the people as well.

Sorry, haven't visited the forum in awhile. So long time in answering. As you said, it's just how you have this beautiful little town surrounded by gorgeous mountains. Then there's the bohemian element of the town as well. Sometimes I pass through a town and say to myself "I can totally live here," and the fantasy of that other life is very powerful. It was like that with Brattleboro.

I love the library there. I grew up in Keene and Westmoreland N.H., right across the river from Brattleboro.

Keene's a great town. The Borders there is where I went last summer for book shopping.
