A Life Between the Lines: A Half-Century of my Poetic Journey


Join Literary Arts Guild's member Dianalee Velie for the evening as she reads excerpts from her six books of poetry written at different periods of her life. The most recent book will take you on a poetic journey through Italy with poems about her experiences teaching poetry in Cortona, Cannero Riviera on Lago Maggiore, and in Santa Croce di Camerina, Sicily while visiting her cousins.  She hopes you’ll fall in love with the sights and sounds of these poems and develop a yearning to read more poetry and also to write poems about your own life experiences whether near or far. 

  

Velie,  has published 6 books of poetry and a collection of short stories, has taught poetry, memoir and short stories both in New England, New York and abroad, and has had poems and short stories published in hundreds of magazines and journals. In addition, she leads the John Hay Poetry Society, which has been meeting for close to 20 years, and has created a permanent poetry path in Newbury that honors New Hampshire Poet Laureates.

Discovering NE Stone Walls


 Why are we so fascinated with stone walls? Kevin Gardner, author of The Granite Kiss, explains how and why New England came to acquire its thousands of miles of stone walls, the ways in which they and other dry stone structures were built, how their styles emerged and changed over time and their significance to the famous New England landscape. Along the way, Kevin occupies himself building a miniature wall or walls on a tabletop, using tiny stones from a five-gallon bucket .

 Kevin Gardner is a writer, teacher, tradesman, and a lifelong resident of Hopkinton, NH. He has been a stone wall builder for forty years, and is the author of The Granite Kiss: Traditions and Techniques of Building New England Stone Walls, as well as poetry, songs, and essays.

That Reminds Me of a Story


 Stories speak to us of community. They hold our history and reflect our identity. Rebecca Rule has made it her mission over the last 20 years to collect stories of New Hampshire, especially those that reflect what's special about this rocky old place. She'll tell some of those stories - her favorites are the funny ones - and invite audience members to contribute a few stories of their own.


 Rebecca Rule gathers and tells stories in New England, mostly New Hampshire. She is the author of a dozen books. Her latest is That Reminds Me of a Funny Story. Her other titles include Headin' for the Rhubarb: a NH Dictionary (well kinda) and Moved and Seconded: Town Meeting in New Hampshire, as well as the children's books, The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever and N is for NH. For ten years she hosted "The New Hampshire Authors Series" on NHPBS. She currently hosts "Our Hometown" also on NHPBs
