About ‘Love & Other Monsters’:
In the stormy, scandalous summer of 1816, daring eighteen-year-old Claire Clairmont changed the course of literature forever. But then—unlike her stepsister Mary Shelley—she was forgotten, until now.

With searing relevance to our here and now—of celebrity worship, climate disaster, of complicated femininity, Love & Other Monsters is the untold origin story of Frankenstein, a feminist reckoning of sisters, survival, and the creation of monsters—both those on the page and those who walk among us.

About Emily Franklin:
Emily Franklin is the bestselling author of The Lioness of Boston, based on the life of trailblazer Isabella Stewart Gardner, and more than twenty other books. Her work has been published in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Kenyon Review, and The Journal of the American Medical Association, read aloud on National Public Radio, named notable by the Association of Jewish Libraries, and longlisted for the London Sunday Times Short Story Award.

About Ashley:

For me color is an art medium itself and a partner. With it I explore space and form, enter conversations, and allow the opening of a story. There is room for me to understand my feelings and space for the experience of my audience.

I have been painting since my early years. It continues to tell me new things about who I am. I consider watercolor my first love where art utensils are concerned. I’m very grateful to live in this community of coastal Rhode Island, so rich in artists and art lovers alike.

Ashley has a gallery and teaching space at 1733 Main Road in Tiverton. It is open by appointment and will hold retail hours the Summer of 2026!

July’s book club features Kate Baer’s recent collection of poems, “How About Now”.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“Kate Baer’s poems are so full of life—life as it is now, that I can hear them breathing. I loved this book.”—Emma Straub

The third full length poetry collection from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman.
Renowned poet Kate Baer returns with a bold and compassionate collection that confronts the march of time in a shifting world.
With her trademark candor and curiosity, Baer explores what it means to grow older, to release children into the wildness of their own lives, and to reclaim the ever-evolving self. Raw, luminous, and urgent, this collection channels Baer’s own journey to middle age into poems that are profoundly intimate yet resound universally, identifying the beauty, resilience, and fragility that arrive in every stage of life.
How About Now is a striking declaration of ongoing transformation and self-discovery. From the poet who has captured the heartbeat of the modern woman, this collection reaffirms Kate Baer’s place among the most vital voices of our era.
