Carolyn Kuebler is the author of Liquid, Fragile, Perishable, a debut novel set in Vermont that follows the course of a single year through a series of intertwined characters—beekeepers, innkeepers, newcomers, teenagers, and a woman living alone in the woods.
Influenced by a wide range of writers, from modernists like Virginia Woolf to naturalists like Annie Dillard, as well as by the local newspaper, this novel is concerned with climate change, class, the haunting effects of personal tragedy, and the weather.
Carolyn works as an editor, currently of the quarterly New England Review at Middlebury College in Vermont, and prior to that at various publishers in New York and Minneapolis, where she was co-founding editor of the book review Rain Taxi. She moved to Vermont twenty years ago and never looked back.
