BOOK SIGNING: E.M Ippolito The Tears of Other People

BOOK SIGNING: E.M Ippolito The Tears of Other People

Join Portsmouth Historical Society for a book signing with author E.M. Ippolito. The author of The Tears of Other People will be reading a selection from their book and speaking about their experiences. Books will be available for sale in the gift shop. Admission is free, no RSVP required.

Evie (E. M. Ippolito) was raised a settler on unceded Abenaki-Pennacook land in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She is a trans writer of fiction and nonfiction living in Brooklyn, Lenapehoking, where she pursues a degree in library information science.

The Tears of Other People is an attempt by author E. M. Ippolito to make sense of her alienation from her hometown of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Both local history and personal memoir, the book explores the history of discriminatory programs on the New Hampshire seacoast, from gentrification to European colonization, charting personal and political connections across decades of urban change. Dispossession has an infamous history on the beautiful Portsmouth waterfront, where in the 1960s a colonial museum called Strawbery Banke displaced the working-class neighborhood of Puddle Dock.
