SUMMARY:Poetry Seminars with Judson Scruton: Robert Penn Warren
DESCRIPTION:Poetry is a “way of getting your reality shaped a little better.” — R.P.W. \nJoin Wilton Library for a seminar series in which Judson Scruton takes us through a selection of remarkable poems by Robert Penn Warren from his seminal book Understanding Poetry. \nWarren was a major force in American literature during the 20th century. He won major awards in poetry\, drama\, fiction and criticism and is the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes in both poetry (twice) and fiction (All The Kings Men). His text Understanding Poetry (collaboratively written with colleague Cleanth Brooks) underwent four editions and became a major influence in establishing a new analytical theory for literature. “The New Criticism” consists of the close reading and analysis of a literary text as an object in itself. \nUnderstanding Poetry provides a lens which will be used to discuss Warren’s poetry. It combines close observations of nature and reflections on human action. \nScruton\, M.A. (The Johns Hopkins University\, The Writing Seminars\, specializing in poetry)\, taught creative writing and literature at prep schools and universities. Advance registration is required. Register and find more details online.

SUMMARY:Poetry Discussion with Janet Krauss: The Poetry of Ruth Stone (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library online with Janet Krauss leading a discussion of a selection of Ruth Stone’s poems. Links to the poems and discussion questions will be emailed in advance of the program. \nAs quoted in Poetry Foundation\, “Ruth Stone’s lyrics are known for their accuracy\, strangeness\, and ability to speak to domestic concerns and metaphysical problems at once.” Her poems clearly flow forth from the pain\, loss\, and poverty she endured. \nStone’s husband\, poet Walter Stone\, committed suicide and left her with their three young children. “Shock and grief of her loss infused her poetry the rest of her life.” \nStone lived in a rural farmhouse in Vermont for much of her life. Her granddaughter Bianca subsequently established Stone’s simple\, farmhouse home as a poet’s residence after her death. During her later years\, Stone received wide recognition with the publication of her book of poems Ordinary Words (1999). Several more acclaimed books followed. She was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and secured a professorship of English in 1990 at SUNY Binghamton\, receiving numerous prestigious awards. \nWriting poems was a saving grace for Stone. When inspired\, she indeed expressed that she “felt a poem coming like a horse galloping towards her and had to catch it – if not….” \nExplore the ideas above in the beginning of an introduction to Stone. \nKrauss\, who has two books of poetry published\, Borrowed Scenery\, Yuganta Press\, and Through the Trees of Autumn\, Spartina Press\, has recently retired from teaching English at Fairfield University. \nThere is no charge for this program. Advance registration is required. Register online to receive the Zoom session invitation link\, and readings packet.

SUMMARY:Poetry Discussion with Janet Krauss: The Poetry of John Lee Clark (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library online when Janet Krauss will lead a discussion of a selection of poems by John Lee Clark. Those registered will receive links to the poems and discussion questions in advance of the program. \nLee Clark brings awareness to what it’s like to “see” the world through his gift as a DeafBlind poet. He is an active spokesperson for his community. Working for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development as a Braille and Proctactile Instructor\, he advocates for jobs for disabled people. Lee Clark has a happy family life with his wife and three sons. \nAs a promoter of Protactile Language\, he reminds one of how Helen Keller was taught to learn words by touch — feel the water running through her fingers in order to know the word water. Protactile Language is the opposite of Sign Language. The former is rooted in contact space as it is explained. John says\, “We feel language! Areas of the body are touched to express our feelings.” Participants will explore his experiences through his poems. \nNo charge for this program. Advance registration is required. Register online to receive the Zoom session invitation link\, and readings packet. Email Caryn Friedman-Quinn with any questions.
