Michael has lived on Wheeler Hill most of the last 20 years and that experience has been the source of much of his poetry.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>How does the writing of a poem and the penning of lyrics differ? How are they alike? What is the story behind the creation of a poem such as Michael’s “Ginseng Hunter” or Pat Kane’s “Job’s Corners”? Does a poem or song with local roots connect with others when Michael and Pat present it out on the road? Come join the discussion, ask a few questions and listen to a few poems and songs.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Refreshments and informal discussion will be available after the program. (Pat will also be performing that evening in Elmira – so the gathering can be reconvened with good music and a pint or two Guinness!) </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>********************************************************************</B></div> <div> <B>Adirondack Tour</B></div> <div> <B>with Steve Coffman</B></div> <div> <B>October 24 - 26.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="goff_nelson_memorial_library"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Goff-Nelson Memorial Library</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>41 Lake St., Tupper Lake, NY</B></div> <div> <I><B>Monday, October 24</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Writing Workshop w/Michael and Steve</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>2:00 - 4:00 PM</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Book Signing & Reading by Steve and Michael 7:00 PM</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>followed by open reading.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="town_of_johnsburg_library"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Town of Johnsburg Library</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>219 Main St., North Creek, NY</B></div> <div> <I><B>Tuesday, October 25</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Writing Workshop w/Michael and Steve</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>3:00 - 5:00 PM</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Book Signing & Reading by Steve and Michael 7:00 PM</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>followed by open reading.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="indian_lake_public_library"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Indian Lake Public Library</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Pelon Road, Indian Lake, NY</B></div> <div> <I><B>Wednesday, October 26</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Writing Workshop w/Michael and Steve</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>2:00 - 4:00 PM</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Book Signing & Reading by Steve and Michael 7:00 PM</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>and Publication Celebration of the </B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Indian Lake Writers' Group Anthology!</B></I></div> <div> ********************************************************************</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>May 16 - 27 - Chemung River School Project, Riverwalks - Elmira, NY</B></div> <div> Riverside journal writing with 17 different 4th grade classes from seven Elmira area schools.</div> <bR> <div> <B>May 18 - 20th Anniversary Poetry Reading!
