Yellow Springs in radio reading

Village is fictional setting for story by local writer
- to be read on NPR station in Cleveland


A new book from The Kent State University Press, Christmas Stories from Ohio, includes a story set in a town based on Yellow Springs. The characters and events in local writer Scott Geisel’s story “Spring Early” are fictional, but the setting is drawn straight from Yellow Springs. Those familiar with the village will recognize the hardware store, coffee shop, school, streets, and the general small-town sensibility and closeness that Yellow Springers enjoy. The book is available through the Greene County Libraries and features work by historical and contemporary Ohio writers. In December, a Cleveland NPR station, WCPN, will air a program that will include a reading of the story or excerpts from it.
