After a successful launch of the program Bob Mckeever set off to Mexico, but Norwood local Bill Wilson agreed to continue the discussion of apex predators in our region. His storytelling and poetry session is all about bears. That will take place Sunday, March 17th at 11 am.

“Stories & Poems” follows a simple format. The morning begins with a performance of a featured storyteller or poet. That is followed by a Question & Answer session, then a passing of the gourd. At that point, everyone present will be invited to tell a personal story; perform a poem (an original or a favorite written by someone else); read a short section of prose; or simply pass the gourd on to the next person.

The theme for March’s gourd circle stories will be black bear tales.

A collaboration of the Naturita Library and the Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds poetry program, “Stories & Poems” is free and open to all ages, thanks to the generosity of the library, private donors and Talking Gourds’ Fischer Cantor poetry contests.
