Chronicles from the Colony of the Arts Armed with his wit and his walking stick, Michael Perkins appointed himself the Woodstock Flaneur, the idle stroller who records the "untold" stories of artists, eccentrics, country folks, and urban refugees drawn to this world-famous arts colony. At bars, gallery openings, poetry readings, or simply by sitting on the Village Green, he has met an unforgettable array of humanity over the decades from hippies to millennials. Michael Perkins is co-author of Walking Woodstock: Journeys into the Wild Heart of America's Most Famous Small Town.

The Woodstock Flaneur

At a poetry gathering one evening, authors Michael Perkins and Will Nixon decided to walk across Woodstock not just the modern town of busy roads, but the older village of bluestone quarries, abandoned forest paths and mountain views they had all to themselves. Walking Woodstock collects their adventures, many first published in the Woodstock Times, that ranged from the delights of finding spring flowers to the fears of a mountain rescue. Full of humor, friendship, nature, hikers' lore and walkers' musings, these journeys reveal the wild heart that beats in all of us when we set forth to explore our home terrain on foot.
