Tribute Books publishes Wilkes Barre resident’s book on Thoreau

Tribute Books has announced the release of “Thumbing Through Thoreau: A Book of Quotations by Henry David Thoreau,” compiled by Kenny Luck of Wilkes-Barre.

The book is a comprehensive collection of Thoreau’s journals and correspondences available. Illustrators Jay Luke and Ren Adams lend their talents to artistically interpret Thoreau’s vision. Each quote is accompanied by an original drawing.

"This attractively illustrated book presents a rich collection of Thoreau’s thoughts on topics such as society, spirituality and nature. The editor has distilled the essence of Thoreau’s thoughts into a compact, well-edited collection drawn from a wide range of Thoreau’s writings,” said Richard Dillman, professor of American Literature at St. Cloud State University, Minnesota.

The author, Luck, is a graduate student at Marywood University in Scranton, and is a writer for The Weekender.

Luck will be appearing in person at Anthology, 515 Center St., Scranton on Saturday, May 29 at 2 p.m. and at Barnes and Nobles, 421 Arena Hub Plaza, Wilkes Barre on Friday, June 4 at 7 p.m.
