Vermont Seasonings: Reflections on the Rhythms of a Vermont Year by Steve Delaney.

The voice of Vermont is in print. 
“Vermont Seasonings" is broadcaster Steve Delaney’s affectionate salute to Vermont. Delaney, self-described Recovering Flatlander, writes of Vermont in this weekly and seasonal collection of essays. (Sample chapter listing below.)
A Recovering Flatlander, he says, is “a person from Away who has moved to Vermont and believes it is possible to pass as a Real Vermonter. It’s not.” 
Delaney’s distinctive voice was heard on Vermont Public Radio for a decade. He has won national honors for two NBC White Paper television documentaries, and for radio documentaries and news programs produced for VPR. Delaney is a fifty-year broadcast journalist who has covered politics and other petty crime in Washington, finance and other felonies in New York and wars on three 
continents. He is the middle link in a five-generation family love affair with Lake Champlain and the state and now calls Milton his home.
