Bob Mckeever and Elle Metrick to weave stories and poems
at the Lone Cone Library in Norwood Feb. 19th at 6 pm
NORWOOD ... Both storyteller Bob Mckeever and poet Elle Metrick have entranced audiences at separate events, but after their first successful combo show in December at Telluride Arts, the two decided to work together to weave their outdoor tales into a fireside experience to be shared at the February 19 Stories & Poems in Norwood, at Lone Cone Library.
“After their collaborative story and poem night in Telluride in December, we’re excited to bring these two Norwood adventurers together at home, at the Lone Cone Library,” said Talking Gourds Director Art Goodtimes.
The theme this month for storytellers and poets this month, if you would like a prompt, it’s “Darkness.”
The Stories & Poems free series happens on the third Wednesday of each month. Our featured guests will give a 15-20 min. presentation each, followed by a short question and answer period after the presentation. Then there’s a passing of the gourd, where community members are encouraged to share stories or poems.
A collaboration of the Lone Cone Library and the Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds poetry program, Stories & Poems Norwood is free and open to all ages, thanks to the generosity of the library, a Town of Telluride CCAASE grant, private donors and Talking Gourds’ Fischer & Cantor poetry contests.
