SUMMARY:Armed to the Teeth: Reading with Ellen Hirning Schmidt
DESCRIPTION:In her new poetry collection\, Armed to the Teeth\, Ellen Hirning Schmidt faces life’s perils courageously\, and being armed with the powers of family\, the natural world\, and a strong heart full of love\, emerges victorious. Readers of this book will take heart from its victories. The poet says this about the focus of her book: “I created the poems in this collection to explore despair versus hope as experienced through personal memory\, beyond into generational patterns\, and in response to climate change and the social divides of our larger world. Nature and humor provided abundant metaphors for this exploration\, as is evident in the cover photo\, ‘Stones in Conversation’.”

SUMMARY:Watershed - Reading with Carolyn Clark
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Clark gets better with each book\, each poem. Where else could we get woodlands\, strawberries\, free range blue eggs\, in a world populated by Artemis\, Eurydice\, Apollo\, and horses. To create the beauty and mystery of classic myths within the natural world is to be inside and outside of the imagination\, a rare read. Cobwebs\, woodchucks\, compost\, Covid\, stars—poems from the pandemic that make us heal. Clark says\, “My heart glows with affection.” So do ours\, your readers.\n—Grace Cavalieri\, Maryland Poet Laureate \nThis book’s title points two ways: literal and metaphoric. In her poems\, Carolyn Clark pictures the first and seeks the second. A free spirit with wordplay\, rhyme\, and cognates across the European language spectrum\, she addresses her trees as “rusting red/organ donors/doing their job/better than me” and pauses during a pandemic to “feel no guilt/in rejoicing in nature.” Clark’s work celebrates marriage’s sick days and valentines\, a ranch’s new blue eggs and hand tools and dearly aging mares—aware that we are “just one stop away from extinction\,” yet affirming hope as a space to live in.\n—Mary Gilliland\, author of The Devil’s Fools

SUMMARY:Screening: Lavender Hill A Love Story - DOWNTOWN ITHACA PRIDE WEEK
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Friday June 16th\, 5:30-6:30pm \nWHERE: CAP ArtSpace\, Located inside the Tompkins Center for History & Culture\, 110 N Tioga St\, Ithaca NY 14850 \nQ&A: With members of Lavender Hill; David Hirsch & Yvonne Fisher \nIn 1973\, a motley group of young writers\, artists\, political activists\, and recent college graduates purchased over 80 acres of land outside West Danby\, New York to build\, with their own hands\, a two story home that became Lavender Hill — one of the few gay and lesbian communes in the Back to the Land movement. In a time when over a dozen “straight” communes thrived in Tompkins County outside Ithaca\, Lavender Hill\, which expanded to include several homes across the property\, was a remarkable experiment in collaboration\, gender exploration\, and social and political integration between young gay and lesbians in the post-Stonewall era. \nThis event will be opened by Dr. Jeffry Iovannone and include items displayed from the personal collections of Lavender Hill. \nQ&A with members of Lavender Hill and the History Center staff following screening. \nPre-registration not required.
