The program will take place in Town Hall Theater’s Anderson Studio and Jean’s Place Lounge in Middlebury, Vermont, and will include a community cocktail hour followed by a reading, artist talk, and audience question-and-answer session.
Stone is an award-winning poet and writer whose work has appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Poets & Writers, and The Nation.

The Near and Distant World, published by Tin House, will Mark Stone’s latest full-length poetry collection and will be released in January 2026. The event will operate on a suggested donation basis, with proceeds supporting Town Hall Theater’s literary and community programming.
