Last year Ray Harvey was not able to join Joan Shapiro at the Lone Cone Library for “Stories & Poems” when she did her song-writing appearance. So, we asked him to return. And he agreed. His event takes place Wednesday, Jan. 15th, at 6 pm.
As Harvey explains in his bio: “I was born and raised in Ouray and graduated from Ouray High School. I’ve worked as a short-order cook, construction laborer, crab fisherman, janitor, bartender, copyeditor, pedi-cab driver, and more, but no matter where I’ve gone or what I’ve done to earn a living, literature has always been the driving force in my life.”
The theme this month for storytellers and poets this month, if you would like a prompt, is “Mountain Lions.”
The “Stories & Poems” free series happens on the third Wednesday of each month. Featured guests give a 15-20 minute presentation each, followed by a short Q & A period after the presentation. Then there is a passing of the gourd when community members are encouraged to share their own stories or poems.
