Poetry Reading
with Matthew Spireng

Friday, August 2, 7pm At the Marbletown Community Center

Award-winning poet Matthew J. (Matt) Spireng will present a reading celebrating the region and, in particular, the town of Marbletown, its people, its places and its past. Spireng, who still lives in the house in which he was raised as a child on the wooded acreage left from the family farm on Tongore Road in Lomontville, has published nearly 800 poems in magazines and anthologies across the United States since 1990 and is the author of seven books of poems, two of which won national awards. His full-length books are: Out of Body, winner of the 2004 Bluestem Poetry Award and published by Bluestem Press at Emporia State University in Kansas; and What Focus Is, 2011. His chapbooks are Inspiration Point, 2002, winner of the 2000 Bright Hill Press Poetry Chapbook Competition; Clear Cut, 2011; Young Farmer, 2007; Encounters, 2005; and Just This, 2003. Copies of his books will be available for purchase and signing at the reading, with a portion of the purchase price to be donated to the Stone Ridge Library.

Here are the opening lines from his poem "Memories of Corn," which was first published in Runes and is included in his book What Focus Is:

The scent as you enter
the field, the itch of pollen
on sweaty flesh, how
the green leaves slash …

A Public Reading from the Stone Ridge Library
Writers' Group

Monday, August 12
5-7pm
in the Library garden, rain or shine

Please join us for a reading by members of the Stone Ridge Library Writers' Group on Monday, August 12, 2013 from 5-7pm. in the library garden, rain or shine. Authors /readers include: Cathy Arra, Anna Brennecke, Darlene Kelley, T. Grace Malone and Michele Placais.

The Stone Ridge Library Writers' Group began in the Fall of 2012. It was formed for writers already engaged in the process of writing and publishing that also wanted to participate in a structured feedback-critique group. After working together for nearly a year, five writers in the group will be reading selections or excerpts from their work. If you are an active writer looking for such a support group, please contact Diane DeChillo at the library. (687-8726)

CATHY ARRA is a life long resident of the Hudson Valley. Recently retired from her position as an English and Writing teacher at Rondout Valley High School, she now spends her time writing, practicing yoga, traveling and participating in community activities. Last fall, she began the Stone Ridge Library Writers' Group and has enjoyed meeting other local writers and sharing with them in the creative process. She will be reading a selection of poetry from two chapbooks in progress.

Originally from southern Connecticut, ANNA BRENNECKE is a recent transplant to Ulster County from Brooklyn, NY. A former special education teacher, Anna currently assists artists, programs events and is the marketing director at the Chinese Healing Arts Center in Kingston, NY. She spends her free time crafting jewelry, practicing yoga, writing poetry and memoir. She will be reading from a series of vignettes about her experience teaching at a Title I school in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

REV. DARLENE L. KELLEY is the pastor of The Clinton Avenue United Methodist Church in Kingston, NY and the director of the Caring Hands Soup Kitchen. Her work as a pastor has inspired her blog, "Methodist To Her Madness" on WordPress. This afternoon, Darlene will be reading two stories about faith.

T. GRACE MALONE lived all over the place and finally settled down in the Hudson Valley. She has written articles and travel pieces for a number of magazines, including The Chronogram. She works as a psychotherapist, mostly with kids and teens, who inspire her a lot and laugh at her when she tries too hard to act cool. She will be reading from her first Young Adult novel, Wicked & Wise.

MICHELE PLACAIS lives in Stone Ridge. Retirement and this beautiful region were the inspiration for writing poetry and children stories as well as a novel from which she will be reading.

KNITTING GROUP

Every Saturday
10am-noon

The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am - 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you're likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you're going with a project. Some of us can help toward the repair of knitted or crocheted items too.

The group is sociable and lively, and our conversation and sharing is just as wide-ranging as our projects. We are especially interested in the UFOs (Un-Finished Objects) that members bring in and love the show and tell of projects under way and being finished, new or old, simple or complex. Though knitting is our love and mainstay, we graciously adapt ourselves to stray crocheters and those of us who simply must take to the hook when the spirit moves. We share articles, magazines and books on knitting. Donations of yarn to the Library get made up into items for sale at the Library Fair and during the winter holidays for the benefit of the Library. Some of us also knit things for local hospitals or for the U.S. troops.

Middle age can be an opportunity for adventure

Poughkeepsie Journal - 7.6.13 -
Erica Freudenberger

When we're young, middle age is synonymous with being irrelevant. It's the age of our parents and other boring adults. But those blessed with achieving such a drab status know the truth — it's an exciting time.

Yes, our mortality rears its saggy and achy head, but we're less concerned with what others think as we re-evaluate our goals. Do we buy a motorcycle? Learn to make a perfect baguette? Have a torrid love affair? Become consigliere to a mob boss?

Uber-Wasp John Sutter found his 40s stagnating — until he meets neighbor Frank Bellarosa, avid gardener and mob boss. What begins as an attempted escape from his gilded world becomes increasingly dangerous as a Wall Street tax lawyer and his wife find themselves drawn into a tangled web of lies, favors and government agencies. Using his trademark wit and breakneck pacing, Nelson DeMille creates a world in The Gold Coast that will make your problems seem manageable.

Perhaps you'd prefer to proceed more slowly, taking one step at a time.

That's what happened to Harold Fry. He left home to mail a letter to a dying former colleague, but when he reached the mailbox, he kept walking. His spontaneous journey across Great Britain alarms his wife, and inspires others to take up his cause in the rollicking, humorous, picaresque tale told by Rachel Joyce in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

Perhaps you've followed your own path all along. If so, you'll empathize with Bernadette Fox, a MacArthur-grant winning architect turned reluctant housewife at the center of Maria Semple's engaging novel, Where'd You Go Bernadette? Fox uses her considerable talents to be a thorn in the side of anyone choosing to follow the rules without question. When Bernadette disappears, her daughter Bee pieces together emails, notes and memories to track down her errant mom.

Considerably less chilly, but no less gripping, is Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls by David Sedaris. A master of shrouding frailties in humor, Sedaris delights as he waxes enthusiastic about his first colonoscopy (or at least the drugs that accompany it). His unflinching eye and honesty remind us that we are all — whatever age — deeply flawed beings stumbling through life trying to find our purpose.

Erica Freudenberger is director at Red Hook Public Library.

Childrens' Banner Silent Auction

The glorious childrens' banners, produced by the Verio School, that graced both Main Street throughout June and the Founders' Day inaugural Stone Ridge Art Show are now framed and on display at the Community Center through August. We are continuing the silent auction began at the Art Show with all proceeds from the sale split between the Verio School and the Stone Ridge Library. These wonderful pieces of art not only put on display the depth of very young artistic talent but are also deftly sprinkled with much of Marbletown history all the way back to the Town's original founding in 1703. There are seven banners left to be sold—own a piece of Marbletown and help two fine institutions within our midst at the same time.

Each of the works on display will have an accompanying sheet upon which you may enter your name, bid and telephone number (suggested opening bid is $100). On the 31st of August, the winning bids will be announced.
