Please join us for a poetry reading with local poet and author Ronald Harrison Fenn entitled Riding the American Southwest: A Collection of Poems Spanning the Course of Seventeen Centuries. Mr. Fenn recently returned from a trip to New Mexico and Southern Colorado where he was inspired to add to his collection of poems reflecting on the American Southwest.
The selected poems from Fenn's American Southwest Collection are consequential expressions of desert meditations wherein the underlying mantra connects time, place and people to the human dimension of common experience and perennial wisdom transmitted through the ages.
Mr. Fenn is the author of fifteen volumes of journal, five collections of ongoing poetry, one short story, numerous essays, book reviews, letters, and public lectures for the past fifty years.

North America's owls are commonly thought of as secretive and nocturnal forest inhabitants. In fact, many owls can be observed, or at least detected during daylight hours, and with a little experience can be discovered relatively easily. Learn how to identify Cape Cod's owl species, gain insights into their life histories and discover the art of owling!
While there will not be live owls at this program, there will be plenty of great information about these beautiful birds.
This program is presented by an expert from Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Sanctuary.
