Robert Frost has long dominated the public's image of New England poetry. For many, Frost has come to personify the "New England poet". But who are the poets of today? Can we so easily put faces on the myriad of voices that continue to expand the poetric tradition of our region? The goal of this discussion is to share the variety and vitality of our region's poetry using the works of Robert Frost as a touchstone for exploration. This discussion will be led by NHHC scholar Jennifer Lee. Copies of the book are available at the Library. Refreshments will be served.

| The Sheep Boom and Its Enduring Legacy on the NH Landscape |
|
| Event Location: |
Gilford Public Library |

Betty 524-6042

|
In a brief 30 year period in the early 19th century the New Hampshire countryside became home to hundreds of thousands of sheep. Production of wool became a lucrative business, generating fortunes and providing the only era of true agricultural prosperity in the state's history. It left behind a legacy of fine architecture and thousands of miles of rugged stonewalls. Farmers overcame enormous challenges to make sheep husbandry succeed, but forces from beyond New Hampshire were to doom the industry, with social consequences that would last a century. This program will be led by independent scholar Steve Taylor who operates a dairy and maple farm in Meriden Village NH. Mr. Taylor served a quarter century as New Hampshire's Commissioner of Agriculture and has been a newspaper reporter and editor. He also served as the first Executive Director of the NH Humanities council and is a lifelong student of the state's rural culture.

Join us to watch the Brazilian film The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (PG). This film takes place in Brazil in 1970, when the country was ruled by a military dictatorship and its national soccer team, led by Pelé, was making its way toward the finals of the World Cup. Accordingly, sports and politics both play parts in this film, directed by Cao Hamburger, which filters the tumult and trauma of Brazilian history through the perceptions of a 12-year-old boy named Mauro.
