SUMMARY:Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder and Vitality of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Gavin Van Horn\, editor\, and Heather Swan\, poetry editor\, selected essays and poetry for Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder and Vitality of Nature that call attention to the wondrous ways in which humans and other-than-human beings experience and perceive the world\, not just through the senses but within them. \nHumans\, along with all other creatures\, are an entanglement of sensual relations\, shaping and shaped by our somatic engagement with the world. From the mating calls of chorus frogs to insect olfaction to elephant funerary rites to the memory-rich tastes of place\, Sensoria offers an immersion in the sensual experiences of seeing\, hearing\, touching\, tasting\, and smelling—and their interactions\, combinations\, and more-than-human manifestations. \nThe contributors to Sensoria—including music composer David Rothenberg\, historian of color Carolyn Purnell\, bio-philosopher Andreas Weber\, filmmaker Kalyanee Mam\, neuroethologist Bill Hansson\, travel writer and novelist Nick Hunt\, and religious scholar Graham Harvey—explore and illuminate the biology and neurology of sensation as well as the imaginative possibilities for understanding the senses. \nCo-hosted by the Yankee Bookshop\, books will be available for purchase and signing. \n+++ \nGavin Van Horn\, PhD\, is the executive editor of Humans & Nature Press Books\, the author of The Way of Coyote\, and the co-editor of City Creatures: Animal Encounters in the Chicago Wilderness\, Wildness: Relations of People and Place\, the award-winning five-volume series Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations\, and the five-volume series Elementals. He currently resides in San Luis Obispo\, California\, where you can find him wandering the nearby hills and shores\, senses awakened by sage\, hummingbirds\, and ocean air. \nHeather Swan\, PhD\, is a poet and nonfiction writer. She is the author of Where the Grass Still Sings: Stories of Insects and Interconnection and Where Honeybees Thrive: Stories from the Field (Penn State Press) winner of the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. Her poetry collection A Kinship with Ash (Terrapin Books)\, was a finalist for the ASLE Book Award and long-listed for the Julie Suk Award. A second collection\, Dandelion\, was published in 2023. She teaches environmental literature and writing in Madison\, Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Poetry Group
DESCRIPTION:Writing poetry is a solitary endeavor. Are you looking for feedback on your poems? You are invited to join the Poetry Group at NWPL for sharing and critique. We meet weekly on Mondays 4 pm for about an hour and a half.* \nWhat does it mean to critique something? According to the Oxford Dictionary\, “noun: critique: a detailed analysis and assessment of something\, especially a literary\, philosophical\, or political theory.” \nSince “critique” has negative connotations\, we operate in workshop format. How? Billy Collins suggested “5 Things to Consider When Analyzing Poetry in an online ‘MasterClass.’” \n“Poetry involves different elements like language\, rhythm\, and structure. Together\, they tell a story and create a complexity that is unique to poetic verse. When studying poems in-depth\, look at these individual elements: \n\nTheme: Poetry often conveys a message through figurative language. The central idea and the subject matter can reveal the underlying theme of a poem.\nLanguage: From word choice to imagery\, language creates the mood and tone of a poem. The way language is arranged also impacts the rhythm of a poem.\nSound and rhythm: The syllabic patterns and stresses create the metrical pattern of a poem.\nStructure: The framework of a poem’s structure affects how it is meant to be read. A poet sculpts their story around stanzas\, line breaks\, rhyme patterns\, punctuation\, and pauses.\nContext: The who\, what\, where\, when\, and why of a poem can help explain its purpose. Look at these elements to discover the context of a poem.”\n\nThis group is open to all; RSVP is appreciated. Please email Programs@NormanWilliams.org. \n* Any changes to the schedule will be noted on the website calendar.

SUMMARY:Trivia! | Library After Hours
DESCRIPTION:Test your knowledge! NWPL’s own Adrian Tans will challenge us with trivia questions that run the gamut from pop culture\, sports\, history\, and – of course – books. The winning team gets bragging rights and their picture on the coveted digital display board! \nThis Library After Hours event is a “fun-raiser” and mini-fundraiser: there is a $5 suggested donation per player.  Gather friends for a team – or come on your own and join forces with others here. Fun fact: more often than not\, members of the winning teams had just met that night! \nThis event is BYOB\, so feel free to bring your own drinks (including beer and wine); the library will supply snacks. Doors open at 6:30; the game will start promptly at 7:00. \nOur monthly Library After Hours events are intended as social evenings for adults.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Peoples' Day | NWPL Closed
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Indigenous Peoples’ Day\, observed on the second Monday of October\, is a time to honor the cultures and histories of Native American peoples. \nThis holiday arose as an alternative to Columbus Day\, which Native Americans protested for honoring a man who had enabled their colonization and forced assimilation. Former Gov. Peter Shumlin began observing Indigenous Peoples’ Day by gubernatorial proclamation in 2016\, a tradition that his successor\, Gov. Phil Scott\, signed into law in 2019. The change was made to “aid in the cultural development of Vermont’s recognized tribes.” \nWe encourage you to identify and acknowledge the Native land we live on and learn more about Indigenous peoples and cultures. \n*** \nWhen the library is closed\, patrons can use our online catalog to renew books\, and place books on hold in addition to accessing eBooks\, eAudiobooks\, and movies to download and stream.
