SUMMARY:Chrysalis: Poetry by Michael Carignan
DESCRIPTION:Join local poet Michael John Carignan for an afternoon program featuring selections from Chrysalis\, his recently-published collection from Austin Macauley Publishers. \n“Immerse yourself in a ride of the authors imagination. Traveling diverse roads from keen observation\, exploring the growth from boyhood to manhood\, from exhilaration to the pinnacles of deep despair. Themes of nature protrude their heads spanning all four seasons. Curl up to browse the pages in a quiet room and let your mind wander the corridors of imagination that come to life in this book a collection gathered by my muse of a flawed utopia\,viewed by many perspectives of a world shining bright. This is the hatching of ideas.” \nMichael Carignan published his first collection\, Quintessence\, in 1992\, and has since published several individual pieces in local magazines\, newspapers and anthologies including Oyez Review at Roosevelt University in Chicago. He has worked in a local school with the fourth grade class\, culminating in a collection of every child’s poem. He has worked with area artists in the impression of his poems through music and visual art. Mike has performed in several coffeehouses in the past both reading his work and doing improv poetry.

SUMMARY:Real Democracy: Tim Kipp and Friends
DESCRIPTION:REAL DEMOCRACY  \nwith Tim Kipp and friends \nBrattleboro Democracy Forum  \nat Brooks Memorial Library  \n and on Zoom \n6:30 pm\, Tuesday\, April 12th\, 2022\, \nThe meeting will be recorded and will air on BCTV and WVEW-FM \n  \nThe meeting at the library will be in the Community Meeting Room located on the 2nd floor\, just inside the rear entrance from the Municipal Center parking lot.   \nTo join the Zoom meeting click on this URL on the 12th: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84518553496?pwd=NldqT093NWxxUWxIVWR2N0V5NkQ4UT09 \n  \nTim says: \nThe United States is in a crisis of two nations.  Economic instability\, racial reckoning\, a lingering pandemic and rising authoritarianism divide Americans by a gulf not experienced since the Civil War. \nUnderlying this disunion are conflicting concepts of what democracy actually is or should be. The old consensus is crumbling. Today for some\, physically attacking the nation’s capitol makes sense\, for others\, making it harder for people to vote is a democratic act.  \nOn the other hand many still believe in citizen responsibility in the political process. For these people government and community organizing for social justice is what democracy looks like.  \nOur future can and will be charted by how we conceptualize democracy itself. Understanding\, expanding and sustaining democracy can perhaps lead to a bridging of this not so grand canyon of national divide. \nThis presentation focuses on the nature of democracy and offers a re conceptualization of this greatest of human inventions. \n  \nTim Kipp is a retired history and political science teacher of 39 years and a political activist since the 1960s. \n  \nMarlboro Resident and musician Jesse Lepkoff will sing the marching song “We Are Marching For Democracy” to open the meeting. \nThe WE CELEBRATE DEMOCRACY CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL Main Street banner will be hung at the library \n  \nwecelebratedemocracycivilrightsforall.org– \n Positive Nonviolent public action for democracy and civil rights  \nfor all people- 802 258 7045
