SUMMARY:Poetry Discussion with Janet Krauss: The Poetry of A. R. Ammons (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library online as Janet Krauss leads a discussion of a selection of poems by A.R. Ammons. Links to the poems will be emailed in advance of the program. \nThe spirit of Nature runs through Ammons’ soul. That is the Transcendental belief. A critic said that Ammons adheres “to a fidelity to details of nature” as he writes in a “contemporary conventional style.” He sees his identity as a “part of a larger continuum.” \nThe poet was born in 1920 and died in 2001. He was born in rural North Carolina on a cotton and tobacco farm during the Great Depression. His farm life inspired his poems. He taught at Cornell from 1964-1998\, won numerous poetry awards\, and the prestigious Bollingen Prize for American Poetry. \nWe will trace the Transcendental influence of Emerson and Dickinson in his poems. \nJanet Krauss\, who has two books of poetry published\, Borrowed Scenery and Through the Trees of Autumn\, has recently retired from teaching English at Fairfield University. \nAdvance registration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website in order to receive the Zoom session invitation link and readings packet.

This book is Melissa’s heartfelt gift to her parents—and to all of us. \n“Mesmerizing. What shines most brightly\, however\, is the couple’s romance.

The affection is palpable…” — Starred Booklist Review \nMelissa Newman is an artist\, teacher\, singer and writer\, based in Westport. \nElm Street Books will be selling copies and Melissa will be signing books after the talk.

SUMMARY:Wilton Playshop Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Playshop will hold auditions for It’s Only a Play (2014 Broadway script edition) on Sunday\, November 26 and Tuesday\, November 28 at 7:00 p.m. Callbacks will be held on November 30 at 7:00 p.m.  The show will run February 9 – February 24\, 2024. \nIt’s Only a Play by Terrence McNally is a comical play about theater.

Looking for versatile actors with great comic timing who are adept at physical comedy. For role descriptions\, visit the Wilton Playshop website.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Rob Copeland
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library for a special Author Talk program as award-winning New York Times finance writer Rob Copeland talks about his brand new book The Fund: Ray Dalio\, Bridgewater Associates\, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend. \nLate last year\, when the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates\, the largest hedge fund on the planet\, announced that he was stepping down from the company he started out of his apartment nearly 50 years ago\, the news made headlines around the world. Ray Dalio cultivated an aura of international admiration and fame thanks to his company’s eye-popping success\, coupled with a mystique he encouraged with frequent media appearances\, celebrity hobnobbing\, and his bestselling book\, Principles. In The Fund\, award-winning New York Times journalist Rob Copeland punctures this carefully-constructed narrative of the benevolent business titan\, exposing his much-promoted “principles” as a phenomenal illusion\, and one of the great feats of hubris in modern memory. These so-called principles endowed upon Dalio the authority to opine on life’s great meanings\, which in turn helped transform him into a self-help guru for millions\, as money continued to flow into his hedge fund. \nThe Fund is a page-turning\, stranger-than-fiction journey into a rarefied world of wealth and power. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with those inside and around the firm\, Copeland takes readers into the room as former FBI director Jim Comey kisses Dalio’s ring\, recent Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick drinks the Kool-Aid\, and a rotating cast of memorable characters grapple with their personal psychological and moral limits – all under the watchful eye of their charismatic leader. \nRob Copeland is a finance reporter for The New York Times. His front-page investigations into Bridgewater Associates won a New York Press Club award. \nThe media sponsor of our author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website.

SUMMARY:Senior Center Book Discussion: Lady Chatterley's Lover
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library as Ray Rauth leads a discussion of D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover. \nBanned in many countries for years\, and even decades\, Lawrence’s novel is a landmark in literary history. In 1960\, the book was at the center of a major obscenity trial in London against its publisher Penguin Books. Prevailing in court\, Penguin then went on to sell 3 million copies. Around the same time\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the book could be mailed\, and thus sold. But\, beyond the frequently thumbed pages containing the naughty bits\, the novel actually deals with such major themes as the relationship between the life of the mind and life of the body as well as\, of course\, all the issues of class structure in early 20th century England. Vogue\, reviewing the importance of the book to literary history\, said it “marked a fundamental shift for censorship in the United States…and is now considered a landmark case for the First Amendment.” \nThis group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month from September through May\, excluding December. Call the Senior Center for details and to register at 203.834.6240.

SUMMARY:Fall Semester with Mark Schenker: A Survey of Literary Utopias (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library online via Zoom as Mark Schenker takes us on a guided tour of several literary utopias and dystopias spanning several hundred years. \nEver since Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) created the word “utopia” in the early 16th century\, the double meaning of his coinage has informed centuries of Utopian literature in English. (The Greek outopia means “no place\,” while eutopia means “good place.”) Since More’s Utopia\, writers such as Jonathan Swift and Margaret Atwood have created imagined worlds that reveal the dystopian reality behind the utopian dream. \nAfter beginning with More’s masterpiece\, Schenker will survey other literary works from each of the past six centuries—books that engage the quest for societal perfection\, the limits of human aspiration\, and the various meanings of the old saying that “the perfect is the enemy of the good.” \nThe schedule for the series is below (please note that the sessions are not all on the same day of the week and also stretch from September to November):\nSept. 7 – Utopia\, Sir Thomas More\nSept. 14 – Gulliver’s Travels\, Jonathan Swift\nSept. 21 – Erewhon\, Samuel Butler\nSept. 28 – The Handmaid’s Tale\, Margaret Atwood\nOct. 3 – King Lear\, William Shakespeare\nOct. 10 – Station Eleven\, Emily St. John Mandel\nNov. 2 – Cloud Cuckoo Land\, Anthony Doerr. \nRegistration is required. Register online or call 203.762.6334.  Please email Michael Bellacosa with any questions. \nMark J. Schenker\, having served in various decanal roles in Yale College since 1990\, retired at the end of June. A former lecturer in the English Department\, he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University with a concentration in 19th-century and early 20th-century English Literature. \nThese lectures are made possible with the support of the Literary Series in Memory of Amy Quigley. \n
