Almond restaurant in Bridgehampton will continue its series of Artists and Writers dinners on Monday at 6 with Caroline Sutton. A three-course family style meal will be served with one glass of wine or draft beer for $55, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made online or by calling the restaurant at 631-537-5665.

Ms. Sutton, who lives in East Hampton, has been writing and contributing natural history essays over the years to a variety of journals and literary publications. She will be talking about her new book, "Eyes in the Soles of My Feet: From Horseshoe Crabs to Sycamores, Exploring Hidden Connections to the Natural World," which was published on October by Schaffner Press. In its review, Publishers Weekly said, "With lyrical prose, Sutton explores such thought-provoking questions as how best to teach children to see the world, free of adult preconceptions, and what humans would see if they viewed their surroundings through ten eyes distributed over their bodies like horseshoe crabs. The result is a revelatory perspective on life on Earth."

Ms. Sutton's essays have been published in the Kenyon Review, Gulf Coast, Terrain.org, North American Review, Cimarron Review, and The Los Angeles Review. She is also the author of “How Do They Do That?,” which sold over a million copies, “Don’t Mind Me, I Just Died,” a collection of essays, and “Mainlining,” a memoir.

This article has been changed from its original and print versions to include information about Ms. Sutton's new book and to remove inaccurate information that she was also a longtime book editor.
