November … Heading into the Season of Cold & Long
A busy month full of events and poetry and conversation. Which of these will you join?
Light Waves
Reviewing Summer
I like what we’ve done and I hope you do too, from comic relief to deep philosophical reflections.

I want to emphasize what it means to practice the privilege we still have as Americans … to Vote.
October in All Its Glory
Hispanic Heritage in full bloom, State Fairs winding down …. breathing space between the summer that has been and the winter that is coming.
Poignancy & Progress at the Apple Harvest Festival
Highlights from Sulima’s 2022 book signing trip through Connecticut.
