The Sawyer Free Library will welcome Kristin Czarnecki, Executive Director of the Rockport Art Association & Museum, on Thursday, February 6from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, for a special evening as she reads from her new memoir, Encounters with Inscriptions. The event will be at the Sawyer Free Library at 21 Main Street in downtown Gloucester. Registration is required at sawyerfreelibrary.org.
When Kristin lost both her parents within nine months, she sought solace in books—but not just any books. In Encounters with Inscriptions (Legacy Book Press, October 2024), she reflects on the volumes her parents had inscribed and gifted her over the years, an array spanning novels, short stories, poetry, nature writing, cultural criticism, and even a cookbook. As Kristin revisits each cherished title, she explores her grief, the complexities of childhood and family, and the rewards of a life spent reading. She recalls falling in love with poetry, contemplates how the Troubles in Northern Ireland shaped her adolescence, reflects on the legacy of her mother’s feminism, and comes to know her father better through an author he loved. Ultimately, these pages reveal how the power of literature can inspire, confound, soothe, and surprise us.
Kristin Czarnecki is also the author of a memoir, The First Kristin: The Story of a Naming, and a chapbook, Sliced. Her creative nonfiction, poetry, literary criticism, and book reviews have appeared in numerous publications. Kristin holds a Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati and was an English professor for many years at Georgetown College. From 2015 to 2020, she served as President of the International Virginia Woolf Society and remains on the Virginia Woolf Miscellany editorial board. She lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
This event will be moderated by Heather Atwood, an artist, a home cook, and a writer/producer who also lives here in Cape Ann. Additionally, The Bookstore of Gloucester will be on-site during the event to sell copies of Kristin’s books.
To register, go to the calendar page of sawyerfreelibrary.org. Space is limited. Questions, 978-325-5500.

Cannabinoids are a group of naturally occurring chemical compounds produced by cannabis plants and some other botanicals, as well as the human endocannabinoid system (ECS).
There are two types of cannabinoids: phytocannabinoids and endocannabinoids. Each is named based on where they are derived. The prefix phyto- means “plant,” and phytocannabinoids originate from plants. The prefix endo- means “within,” and these cannabinoids are produced within the body. Both interact with the endocannabinoid system of the nervous system.
Over 100 cannabinoids have been identified. Two of the best-known are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Each compound interacts with cannabinoid receptors within the ECS. Cannabinoids can elicit both psychoactive and non-psychoactive effects. Below are a few of the more prevalent cannabinoids and their primary effects:
CBD (Cannabidiol): This therapeutic cannabinoid has many beneficial properties (pain relief, anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea and others) but is non-intoxicating. Research continues to inform us about CBD’s potential.
CBG (Cannabigerol): The first cannabinoid ever identified, CBG has displayed antifungal, antibacterial, antidepressant and pain-relieving properties. Like CBD, it is non-intoxicating.
CBN (Cannabinol): This cannabinoid has been shown to help sedate the body, alleviate pain and nausea and support a sense of calm – with minimal side effects.
CBC (Cannabichromene): Studies have demonstrated CBC’s benefits for mood, pain, inflammation, brain cells and even acne. It is non-intoxicating and aids in the entourage effect.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): This cannabinoid has significant intoxicating effects. (It’s the component that produces the high Cannabis is known for.) THC has been proven to sedate and relax, and it also affects cognition, consciousness, mood and energy levels.
Taken alone, each cannabinoid can produce different effects in the body. When taken together, cannabinoids may work in synergy to enhance the cannabis plant’s functional benefits overall and may create vastly different experiences with different benefits and impact depending on the ratio of different cannabinoids.
Full-spectrum formulations are as close to nature as possible. The whole-plant hemp extract contains all of the cannabinoids and terpenes. They work better together – and this is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect.” Visit us at AngelWingsShop.com
