LENS – NOVEMBER 2007
Toadlily Press Chappaqua is home to fine schools, a fine library and now its own poetry press. Myrna Goodman, Meredith Trede and Jennifer Wallace, published poets all, in a brave foray, founded the Toadlily Press a few years ago in Chappaqua. This fall they are putting out their third volume of the Quartet Series, entitled, Edge by Edge. This chapbook juxtaposes the work of four award winning American poets, Emily Bolden, Gladys Justin Carr, Heidi Hart, and Vivian Teter. As Myrna Goodman related in a chance encounter in the grocery store, while Toadlily Press is barely holding its own financially, the editors are having a ball. They are also getting many submissions from all over and critical acclaim from many for their efforts. Vivian Teter, Emma Bolden and Gladys Justin Carr will read their poetry at the Chappaqua Library on Sunday, November 18th at 4:00. Come and celebrate this new addition to Chappaqua’s cultural scene. Perhaps Carr will read this poem from Edge by Edge. Shipsafter Czestaw Mitosz one by one the shipsdepart, my former lives, leavingtogether with their sunsets off to seas beyond dreaming it is you, late autumn rapture of another year new birth come to mooring your lights like pale fires hang on ropes of night now you must be my steel steady craft against the wheel of time stay awhile the icy lake will take us soon enough If poetry interests you, Chappaqua Library has a respectable collection. We also have many recordings on cassette or CD of poets reading their own work. It is fun to hear Robert Frost or Derek Walcott for example, reading their poems. Much poetry is available in full text free on the Internet. Look at the poetry portion of Librarians’ Best Picks (WLS’s own Internet index) for some excellent links. Two of the best are Barleby.com and Poets’ Corner. |
Our new website has many wonderful features including the weather from the airport and the NY Times best sellers list. It also has videos from NCCTV Library News and much, much more. Its magnificence is due to Lyle Anderson, a local resident, who generously gave us his time and expertise. |
