Every few years, our state’s leaders get all het up about Vermont’s shifting demographics — specifically, the exodus of young people. But are young Vermonters really an “endangered species”?

That’s what Montgomery writer Joe Sherman sought to find out by interviewing 20 Vermonters ages 21 to 38. His subjects range from Barre tattoo artist Lila Rees to rock star Grace Potter, from “a bartender to a trial lawyer, a special-ed teacher to the granddaughter of an Abenaki chief,” he writes on his website. He’s just published the interviews — along with photographs by Martina Tesarová — in a book, Young Vermonters: Not an Endangered Species.
