The harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years. Hear the stories of some of the women and men accused\, tried\, and executed as witches and learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations long before Salem erupted in panic and violence.

Both are accomplished singers\, and their voices blend in close harmony along with strong and evocative instrumental accompaniment. They draw upon both contemporary and traditional sources\, and as their musical collaboration has deepened over the years they have broadened their repertoire to include “Americana\,” contemporary blues\, popular tunes (both new and old)\, and the very first rock and roll hit. As a result\, listeners enjoy a well-rounded acoustic music experience. \nMark White (guitar\, harmonica\, vocals) – Mark plays both fingerstyle and flat-picked guitar\, as well as harmonica\, and sings lead and tenor harmonies. Over the years Mark has played in several bands in Connecticut\, collaborating with some excellent musicians in the process. He has a deep appreciation for the many facets of American roots music and continues to search for songs that resonate with him and his listeners. Mark lives in Groton Long Point\, Connecticut. \nJon Swift (upright bass\, vocals) – Jon was a founding member of the popular Connecticut-based acoustic bluegrass band Traver Hollow\, playing and singing with that group for 13 years in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. His steady upright bass work\, as well as his lead and harmony vocals\, have been enjoyed by the many audiences who listened to Traver Hollow’s recorded albums and their live shows in Europe and Canada\, as well as much of the U.S. Jon sings lead and baritone harmonies and lives in Durham\, Connecticut.

Yet like vampires and werewolves\, gothic stories can assume different shapes and forms: Bram Stoker’s Dracula involves a supernatural evil unleashed in contemporary England\, while the narrator of Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” is haunted simply by his own guilt. In this workshop\, join author and freelance writer Jackson Kuhl for an evening investigating the dark art of gothic fiction writing. We’ll look at some examples of classic gothic literature to inspire us\, then brainstorm ideas\, sketch a brief outline\, and craft a piece of gothic flash fiction to take home. \nAuthor Bio\nJackson Kuhl is the author of the gothic novels A Season of Whispers and the forthcoming The Island of Small Misfortunes\, as well as the Revolutionary War biography Samuel Smedley\, Connecticut Privateer. Kuhl’s journalism and essays have appeared in Atlas Obscura\, the Journal of the American Revolution\, National Geographic News\, and other publications. His short fiction has been published in Professor Charlatan Bardot’s Travel Anthology\, Black Static\, Horror Library\, Love Letters to Poe\, Nightscript\, and numerous anthologies. He lives in coastal Connecticut. Visit him online at jacksonkuhl.com.

Join us for a new poetry writing group that will meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 PM in the Library’s Ames Room. Each meeting we will explore a new poem to read deeply together and parse out its images\, references\, poetic devices\, and possible meanings to cultivate a deeper appreciation for poetry. Then we will take the opportunity to generate our own writing in response to a prompt rooted in the poem we just read. Your responses do not need to be in meter or rhyme (or even have line breaks!) and sharing what you’ve written is not required. You are welcome to simply come listen and enjoy the musicality of language as well. \nThis group is facilitated by the Library’s Adult Services Programming Librarian\, Ery Caswell. Ery has started writing groups of various genres and styles for the last 5 years. His creative nonfiction and poems have been published in a handful of literary journals and prior to tripping & falling into public librarianship he was a writing tutor and instructor. He received his BA in Writing and in Politics from Ithaca College. If you have questions about this group or poems to recommend send them to him at ecaswell@mysticnoanklibrary.org.

There will be new activities introduced since the last workshop\, so this workshop won’t be redundant for past participants. \nInstructor: Sarah Page completed her improv training with Bay Area Theatre Sports (BATS Improv) in San Francisco. She enjoys playing improv games with people of all ages as an ongoing practice and a means of helping others to be spontaneous\, connect with others\, tap into their imaginations and get over fear of failure.

Join us for a new poetry writing group that will meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 PM in the Library’s Ames Room. Each meeting we will explore a new poem to read deeply together and parse out its images\, references\, poetic devices\, and possible meanings to cultivate a deeper appreciation for poetry. Then we will take the opportunity to generate our own writing in response to a prompt rooted in the poem we just read. Your responses do not need to be in meter or rhyme (or even have line breaks!) and sharing what you’ve written is not required. You are welcome to simply come listen and enjoy the musicality of language as well. \nThis group is facilitated by the Library’s Adult Services Programming Librarian\, Ery Caswell. Ery has started writing groups of various genres and styles for the last 5 years. His creative nonfiction and poems have been published in a handful of literary journals and prior to tripping & falling into public librarianship he was a writing tutor and instructor. He received his BA in Writing and in Politics from Ithaca College. If you have questions about this group or poems to recommend send them to him at ecaswell@mysticnoanklibrary.org.
