Aama Harwood
The Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds Poetry Club for the first Tuesday in July features Aama Harwood of Durango, whose father is Mysto the Magi – well known to Telluride audiences.
Harwood is a Colorado girl, born and raised, currently attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, majoring in Integrated Physiology with aspirations of becoming a Naturopath Physician. However, Aama has always been a poet at heart. Her love of words date back to when she was only four years old and she wrote her first song. She believes words are a powerful median, giving eyes to how we each create, feel, think and connect to one other
Take note of a time change: for July and August Talking Gourds has been moved back two hours, to give folks a chance to enjoy the extended daylight. The event will start at 8 p.m. In Sept. the Club will go back to its normal 6 p.m. time slot. August guest poets are unconfirmed, but Front Range poet Joe Hutchinson is going to give a special evening reading Monday, Sept. 8th.
As always, following Club announcements and performances, we’ll have a short break and then pass the gourd around the room to give Club members and attendees a chance to read poems from the monthly theme -- pieces of their own or the work of a favorite other. July’s theme, chose by Alan Wartes, will be Meridian.
Talking Gourds Poetry Club is a joint venture of the Telluride Institute, Wilkinson Library, Between the Covers Bookstore, Arroyo Telluride and the newly formed Telluride Literary Arts. Members meet monthly, on first Tuesday evenings, at Arroyo Fine Art Gallery & Wine Bar at 220 E. Colorado Ave. (next door to Telluride Hardware and the Masonic Hall), beginning at 6 p.m. (8 p.m. June, July and August) in Telluride, Colorado. Call 970-729-0220 for more info.
