"And so the ageing year began to die,
And each cold morn the sun grew later still,
And each brisk noon more lethargy did show
In its ascent cut short and early fall,
And each lamented eve more heavy-lidded
Fell back beyond the wise king's earthly realm.
Until, that is, one frigid, glassy night..."

The Western Star
an epic poem, with songs
celebrating the season of light

A solo storytelling performance in poetry and song, The Western Star evokes a meditative, liminal atmosphere through the rhythms of language and flickering candlelight. The poem is a celebration of light in darkness, the turning of the seasons, and the ever-renewing hope of Christmas. Come join singer-storyteller Jack DesBois in making the journey of the Three Kings an unforgettably moving community tradition.
