“Stories & Poems” hosts archaeologist Glade Hadden of Paradox on Wednesday, May 21, 6 p.m. at the Lone Cone Library.
The featured guest gives a 15-20 minute presentation, followed by a short Q & A session. Then there’s a passing of the gourd, when community members are encouraged to share stories or poems. For those who like prompts for a story or poem, this month’s prompt is “Ruins.”

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.

“Glade’s work revealing the amazing history of Eagle Rock Shelter in Delta County made him a superhero for those interested in Colorado archaeology,” said Talking Gourds director Art Goodtimes. “Plus, he’s as accomplished a storyteller as he is a researcher. This will be an evening not to miss.”
After more than 30 years as a professional archaeologist, Hadden moved to Paradox Valley in 2018 to be close to the archaeology he loves. He’s been leading archaeological tours in the region through Naturita Public Library. A former area archaeologist for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Uncompahgre Field Office in Montrose (CO), Hadden started as a seasonal “dig-bum” for the National Park Service and the BLM before becoming a private consultant.
A Registered Professional Archaeologist, Hadden’s creds include membership in of the Society for American Archaeology, Colorado Archaeological Society, the Colorado Council of Professional Archaeologists and former membership in the Montana Archaeological Society as well as the Utah Professional Archaeology Council.
