Tales of Tall Feather, Cosmic Dust and Legs Askew
"TALES FROM THE LAKE"
The Arts on the Lake Writers Group presents their “Annual Read” on Friday October 18th at 7pm. Come for an evening of poetry; prose; memoir; fiction, fun and refreshments!
Join us as Tail Feather paddles on a river that flows two ways and a love letter is written to Summer’s abundance. From AmeriCorps memories of kids covered with homeopathic repellent to the pitter patter of paws on hardwood floors and rains’ frenzy zapping your ears. From the turf fire in the hearth glowing bright as old Ned recounts echos of ages past to the cosmic dust swept by birds’ little stick feet. Hilarious episodes from six decades of mammograms to human legs askew in the grass of an accident scene and space zombies in a suffering fog swinging themselves across a creek like Tarzan!

Whether you remember the empanadas or not, you may like this short film on the Cold Spring couple who made them - and took time from their Rincon to attend the Friday performance.
