Margie Petty (Columbo)
The Naturita Public Library and the Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds Poetry Program are proud to collaborate on an evening of storytelling by Margie Petty July 10, 6 pm.
“While poetry is a discipline that requires more than just a passing fancy,” explained Art Goodtimes, Talking Gourds director, “all of us tell stories. As Margie Petty demonstrated at our first West End Stories & Poems last month, she is a master storyteller with a long history in the West End.”
The event is free to all and attendees are encouraged to bring stories or poems of their own to share when we do the passing of the gourd after the featured presenter.
West End Stories & Poems happens the second Thursday of each month. Featured guests give a 30-40 min. presentation, followed by a short Q & A period.Then there’s a passing of the gourd, where community members in attendance are encouraged to share stories or poems.
For those who like to write to prompts for stories or poems, this month’s prompt is “Uranium.”
