CANCELLED – Sign-up Required: Writing Duplex Poetry with Julie

PLEASE SIGN UP: CALL 413-665-4683, or VISIT a circulation desk at Tilton, or EMAIL Julie at jcavacco@cwmars.org. LIMITED TO 5 STUDENTS. THIS SERIES CELEBRATES POETRY MONTH IN APRIL: 6 WORKSHOPS AND 2 POETRY READINGS. Sign Up for one or all! Space is limited to 5 students. Participants are welcome to submit a piece of their work for an anthology This workshop is taught by Julie Cavacco. Julie discovered the new form called Duplex this past summer. Jericho Brown developed the form and wrote, “I write in forms because formal work helps to push me toward saying what I couldn’t imagine I would say in a poem.” Duplex is meant to be thoughtful and bluesy. When you begin it the form brings you to an end that you couldn’t have planned. Ages 9-adult   OTHER WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS IN THIS SERIES (SEE OUR EVENTS SECTION): Louise Mahoney will lead four workshops where participants will be given handmade books to record their work There will also be two poetry readings for the workshop participants and the general public – no need to sign up.   Brought to you by Tilton Library and the Deerfield Mass Cultural Council

If your full work is longer, we will publish an excerpt with a link to the full story online. We will also accept photography, drawings, prints, and photographs of paintings or other artwork. Comics! Graphic short stories! Parodies! This is a chance to be creative and share your creativity with our wonderful community. Submitted work can be newly created for this project, or previously written / made / published / exhibited. Imagine All the People will come out in print and online versions. We will provide order forms on our website once the journal is ready to print. Each person who will be mailed a FREE copy!

Tilton Book-to-Art Facebook Group: Braiding Sweetgrass

Direct Link to Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/763504304192279/ This wonderful book, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Kimmerer, was chosen and planned for the Community Read, as part of the regional Libraries in the Woods program. Due to COVID-19 shutdowns of libraries and just about every other thing in life, we were unable to run the programs planned by the 24 local libraries involved. However, a lot of people have read the book and love it and want to talk about it. So, we are doing this here in the Tilton Book to Art Group. FREE online audiobook available without any waitlist on Overdrive, through the library: https://cwmars.overdrive.com/cwmars-tilton/content/media/2854558 This event will involved a day long, come-when-you-can open Facebook discussion on June 25...and of course we highly encourage everyone to make art to accompany and express the feelings you have from the book. Any art is welcome, from doodles to paintings, photography to cake! Just take a photo of your creation and share it on the Tilton Book to Art Group page as part of our discussion. This book evokes so many wonderful images, we doubt you will leave it feeling uninspired. Talk to you and see you...and your art...then!
