yesterday's poetry reading for the labors of our fingertips: poems from manufacturing history in berks county at the bernville area community library had coverage from channel 69 news, which played at 6 and 10 p.m. you can watch that clip here. this kind of positively-geared media attention and way to spread news of the project across the community is greatly appreciated.
ruth darling (after meeting her, you learn that her last name is entirely fitting), who works for this library in bernville, thoughtfully helped in making all of this possible. and bailey thumm assisted with taking the bulk of the photographs below. thank you graciously to these two women.
al haring kindly offered his time again as one of the poem-sources from the poetry project and the first book in these efforts. he also joined something new into the readings-- he read his own poem to the audience. and he tossed the pennsylvania dutch curse words from his poem with such authenticity !
the audience had such enthusiasm and great questions. it's so rewarding to see and hear people busy appreciating the project.
