NEW BOOK: Roads Less Traveled: Visionary New England Lives by John Walters, 22.95
John Walters, the creator and former host of ‘The Front Porch’ on New Hampshire Public Radio, has published Roads Less Traveled: Visionary New England Lives.
In the course of his work as a writer and radio personality, John Walters has interviewed some of the most extraordinary people in New Hampshire and Vermont. For Roads Less Traveled he has written extended profiles of some of his very favorite people.
Including:
Bob McQuillen, Peterborough, N.H.: Contra dance musician and composer, and retired teacher at Conval Regional High School in Peterborough High School.
Kate Phillips, Keene, N.H.: Hollywood actress in the 1930s and ‘40s, screenwriter for television and film. Most notable work was The Blob, the original sci-fi quickie, starring Steve McQueen. (Phillips, now deceased, was a well-known and beloved figure in the Keene State College community.)
Walters writes of brilliance, talent, dedication, and persistence; of devotion to an art, craft, a cause; or simply of a life lived long and well. He writes of people who have, quite literally, taken a road less traveled. They have pursued their own visions. Their stories testify to the breadth of human intelligence and creativity, and the indomitability of the human spirit.
John Walters is a writer, editor and radio journalist. He was the creator and host of The Front Porch, an award-winning interview show on New Hampshire Public Radio. He is a former resident of Elkins, N.H., and now lives in East Montpelier, Vt. He is the managing editor of The Bridge, a weekly newspaper, and is the 2009 winner of the Donald M. Murray Outstanding Journalism Award presented by the New Hampshire Writers’ Project.
