    The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams

    Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and, learning that the word means “slave girl,” begins to collect other words that have been discarded or neglected by the dictionary men.


    As she grows up, Esme realizes that words and meanings relating to women’s and common folks’ experiences often go unrecorded. And so she begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. To do so she must leave the sheltered world of the university and venture out to meet the people whose words will fill those pages.

    Set during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story.

    You are invited to join writing group members for a talk on resilience and art to inspire us all!


    Guest Speaker and Heights resident Mary Lawton is a cartoonist whose work has appeared in a wide variety of publications including The New Yorker magazine, Reader's DigestMs.The San Francisco ChronicleFunny TimesNarrative, and The American Bystander.

    During the past three decades despite facing many obstacles to reaching her dream of being published in The New Yorker magazine, Mary persisted and eventually sold her first cartoon to them in 2017.  


    Her collection of letters weighs four and a half pounds and includes many encouragements from editors.These mostly hand-written rejection slips saved over the course of her career are a testament to her resilience. 

    She will discuss her process of cartooning and the successes, mentors, friends and family that kept her going. The talk will be approximately thirty minutes with Q&A and encouraged audience discussion to follow. 

    Mary appears weekly in the King Features syndicated strip Six Chix. Her cartoons and paintings have been exhibited in Houston, Boston, Berkeley, the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, and The Society of Illustrators in New York City. You can find her on Instagram at #marstoonz.

    Fresh Water For Flowers by Valérie Perrin

    Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Her life is lived to the predictable rhythms of the often funny, always moving confidences that casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues share with her. Violette's routine is disrupted one day by the arrival of Julien Sole--local police chief--who has come to scatter the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger. It soon becomes clear that Julien's inexplicable gesture is intertwined with Violette's own complicated past.
