Adults

Age Group:

Adult
Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.

Event Details

Join Willson and McKee for stories and songs of winter! The scent of peat smoke, the sound of popping fire, the sight of dancing shadows. These are the gifts of winter. Come closer to the fire and settle in for an evening of traditional songs and stories from Ireland and Scotland, with Willson and McKee.

“The hardening of the stream and breath, the stiffening of the bones…

The silence of the farmer’s field, the empty finch’s home…

All echo in a winter’s heart

The hollow frozen sound

And only in the flickering hearth

Warm dreams and hopes are found”

 

Offered as a part of the Winter Adult Reading Program.
