Paonia Poets featured at Talking Gourds Feb. 4th, 2014
The Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds Poetry Club welcomes a trio of poets from the North Folk Valley community of Paonia -- Tara Miller, Jane McGarry and Sarah Gilman. They’ll be our featured readers for February’s First Tuesday at Arroyo’s at 6 p.m
Sarah Gilman is a semi-lapsed artist and secret poet turned environmental journalist and essayist. When she's not playing in the mountains and desert with her dog, she can be found scribbling in a battered notebook or hunched vulture-like over her computer at High Country News, a Paonia-based magazine about the American West where she has served as associate editor since 2008.
Jane McGarry still has a lot to learn about writing poems. She also teaches literature classes in an alternative school in Paonia, sells collectible books on the Internet, and teaches downhill and cross country skiing to kids and adults."
Tara Miller has been writing poetry since she was a child. She taught high school writing and literature in the '70s after graduating from the University of Oregon, but soon turned her pottery hobby into a full time profession. Her work is published in numerous editions of the Delta County Write On! Anthology, plus an occasional magazine. She promotes solar cooking in Western Colorado and on Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca, Peru, where she is a godmother and ceremonial parent. She’s the author of two chapbooks from Intitaquile Press -- Musical Seashell Poems (1976) and Anything is Possible (2001/2005).
After announcements and performances, we’ll have a short break and then pass the gourd to give those club members and attendees a chance to read poems from the monthly theme -- pieces of their own or the work of a favorite other. . And in honor of Valentine’s Day this month, the theme for the open gourd circle will be Sex .
Talking Gourds Poetry Club is a joint venture of the Telluride Institute, Wilkinson Library, Between the Covers Bookstore, Telluride Arts and San Miguel County poets. 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. in Telluride, Colorado. Call 970-729-0220 for more info.
