TELLURIDE ... Poet Janet Ruth will be the featured reader for the Bardic Trails Zoom poetry webinar Tuesday, May 3rd at 7:00 pm (Mountain Time). A production of the Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds Program and the Wilkinson Public Library, Bardic Trails is a free virtual poetry reading open to anyone who preregisters. Register online at the Wilkinson Public Library to get the Zoom Link. Go to telluridelibrary.org/events.

Janet’s poetry and stories are tightly bound to and inspired by her connections with the natural world. She often thinks of them as embodying the observations from the world around her that wouldn’t fit into her scientific manuscripts.
