SUMMARY:Unearth a Story: Reading of Pee on Water
DESCRIPTION:Join us after our regularly scheduled Noontime Poetry Society for a special reading by librarian Jasper Oliver of Rachel B. Glaser’s short story “Pee on Water\,” which\, in keeping with this year’s archaeological summer reading theme\, is a poetic retelling of the whole shebang\, from cosmic spark\, through evolution\, to now. Immediately following this reading attendees are invited to share a favorite short poem or micro fiction that likewise tells either the story of our universe or the tale of our species. Then we will all sit together in quiet reflection before the timer dings on another fine event.

SUMMARY:Joan White Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Poet Joan M. White will celebrate the release of her debut collection of poetry\, a commoner’s prayer\, now out from Rootstock Publishing. With vivid storytelling and an intuitive connection to nature\, this volume captures the beauty\, loss\, and resilience that define our shared experience. Poet Alison Prine will introduce White at the event\, which features a reading\, book sale\, and signing. Light refreshments will be served\, and The Flying Pig bookstore will be on hand to sell books. This is the first of four incredible poetry-related events we’re featuring in April in recognition of National Poetry Month and we’ll be passing out punch cards to attendees with big prizes if you attend multiple events.
