Please join us for a very special event on Friday, September 27th at Scuppernong Books from 6:00PM – 7:30PM as we sit down and talk with Leigh Ann Henion about her book Night Magic: Adventures Among Glowworms, Moon Gardens, and Other Marvels of the Dark. After our conversation, Leigh Ann will be answering your questions and signing copies of her book. The book will be released September 24th but is available for pre-order now.After the event anyone who would like to participate is welcome to gather and socialize with us at Hidden Gate Brewing in downtown Greensboro.
In this glorious celebration of the night, New York Times bestselling nature writer, and North Carolina native, Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes, step outside, and embrace the dark as a profoundly beautiful part of the world we inhabit. Because no matter where we live, we are surrounded by animals that rise with the moon, and blooms that reveal themselves as light fades. Henion explores her home region of Appalachia, where she attends a synchronous firefly event in Tennessee, a bat outing in Alabama, and a moth festival in Ohio. In North Carolina, she finds forests alight with bioluminescent mushrooms, neighborhood trees full of screech owls, and valleys teeming with migratory salamanders. Along the way, Henion encounters naturalists, biologists, primitive-skills experts, and others who've dedicated their lives to cultivating relationships with darkness.
