Robert King comes to Telluride and Montrose
Poetry Month’s Gourds Features Robert King
TELLURIDE – The Talking Gourds Poetry Club presents the poet author of Old Man Laughing and many other books, Robert King of (formerly Greeley and now) Loveland, for its First Tuesday poetry reading, April 7th at 6 p.m. at Arroyo’s Telluride.
April is National Poetry Month, and we’re proud to host one of the state’s best poets and the founder/facilitator of the Colorado Poets Center – the on-line directory and clearinghouse for the Colorado poetry community.
“King writes refreshingly intimate poems that brim with honesty, humor and rue,” writes Wendy Videlock. Adds former Colorado Poet Laureate David Mason, “Intelligence and whimsy are seldom wedded as delightfully as they are in the poems of Robert King.”
On Wednesday, April 8th, King will appear as feature guest of Montrose Regional Library’s Open Mic reading series, also beginning at 6 p.m.
Following Club announcements and the joint performance in Telluride, the group will take a short break, after which the gourd will be passed around the room to give Club members and attendees a chance to read poems from the monthly theme. The theme this month is “Red”. Bring your own work or a favored poet.
In May, the featured poets will be Aaron Anstett of Colorado Springs and James B. Nicola of New York City.
Talking Gourds is a program of the Telluride Institute in partnership with the Wilkinson Library, the Montrose Regional Library, Between the Covers Bookstore, Ah Haa School for the Arts, Telluride Arts District, and Arroyo Telluride. Members meet monthly, on first-Tuesday evenings, at Arroyo Fine Art Gallery & Wine Bar at 220 E. Colorado Ave. beginning at 6 p.m. (next door to Ace Hardware). The same guest(s) will appear at the Montrose Regional Library’s Open Mic the next evening (a Wednesday). For more info, contact Meg Nagel at: <www.montroselibrary.org/event/open-mic-10>
Talking Gourds is indebted to generous donations from Audrey Marnoy, Peter Waldor and the Montrose Friends of the Library. Call 970-729-0220 or visit the Gourds website <talkinggourds.weebly.com> for more info.
