The Auburn Public Library is pleased to welcome two local authors, Andrea Lani and Jennifer Dupree, for a conversation on Tuesday, August 23.

Both Lani and Dupree are graduates of USM's Stonecoast MFA program and both are editors at literary magazines. Andrea Lani is the author of Uphill Both Ways: Hiking Toward Happiness on the Colorado Trail (Bison Books, 2022), a book about hiking the Colorado Trail with her three children and examining the environmental legacy of Westward Expansion.

Her writing has appeared in Orion, Brain, Child Magazine, Spire, Willows Wept Review, Saltfront, Snowy Egret, The Maine Review, Zoomorphic, and About Place Journal, among others. Andrea is a graduate of College of the Atlantic and the University of Maine Stonecoast MFA program, a senior editor at Literary Mama, and a Maine Master Naturalist.
