This past winter David spent two months painting the sea and landscape of the Florida Keys. There he began a series of smaller painting on aluminum, most of them postcard size, that could have a stamp affixed and then be sent through the mail. You can see a sample of his work at http://www.davidsmithoilpainting.com/26952/index.htm

Dan Chodorkoff, author of Loisaida will read from his novel in progress Sugaring Down: A story of Vermont in the sixties. Cora Brooks will read from a selection of her work.

Bird Song by Cora Brooks

A bird sings a song
Song isn’t long
Sings it
Never gets it wrong

A quote from Cora: "Forgive these words they are not birds."
