Essays that tap the creative wealth of the Vermont regional community, now available in print.

For the last ten years, Vermont Public Radio has presented a remarkable array of voices from the region in concise commentaries designed specifically for commuter drive-time. Individually and collectively, over 60 people have achieved a wide following among 150,000 listeners spread over three states and Canada. Vermont Air presents three essays apiece from 26 of them. Chosen for their literary value, timelessness, and harmony, they range from art to education, from gardening to folklore, from news to history, from health to nature. This anthology saves these pieces from literally vanishing into thin air with its unique portrait of one decade’s issues and events in the Green Mountain State.
