Poems ask us to respond not only with emotion and thought, but also, as when listening to or making music, poems give us “felt sense” in and from our physical selves. In this three-part discussion series, we will explore poems to see how they not only invite us to recollect with emotion and tranquility (to paraphrase Coleridge), but also call on body wisdom through description, image, rhythm, and various other aspects of form. In this highly interactive class, we will listen to and discuss poems by well-known poets such as John O’Donohue, Countee Cullen, and Louise Gluck, and lesser-known voices like Jennifer Freed and Jane Wong. Come to have fun, listen, and learn, whether you are a novice, simply curious, an accomplished poet, or teacher/scholar.Registration for this 3-part series has closed.
Town Social Worker Justin Cancel will be available during library drop-in hours to provide assistance with a variety of need-based referrals. These referrals include help finding therapists, psychiatrists, primary care physicians and substance use treatment programs. Cancel will also be able to assist with applications for food benefits (Food stamps/WIC), housing resources, clothing support and crisis guidance.
