Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library. No charge. Registration suggested. Register online or call 203-762-6334.

Michael's subject matter is concerned with the depiction of ineffable moments that appear and disappear in the mist, the use of exaggerated color and the slippage between the real and unreal. After more than a decade of living in suburban Melbourne, Australia, he is keen to investigate the colors and compositions of  'home' and to more closely observe and paint the verdant shadows and saturated colors he associates with New England.

Weir Farm's Artist-in-Residence program (AIR) selects twelve artists to live and work at Weir Farm each year. To date, over 200 artists from throughout the U.S., as well as Tunisia, Germany, Australia, India and the Netherlands have participated in the AIR program. Visual artists apply for one month residencies in all media and diverse artistic points of view from traditional to experimental.

Please join us as Barbara Jones leads a discussion of Jack London: An American Life by Earle Labor, the foremost Jack London scholar in the world, who has given us the finest biography of this great American writer.

This group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month from September through May, excluding December. Call the Senior Center for details and to register at 203-834-6240. Comstock Community Center, 180 School Road, Wilton.

Jack London was one of the first writers to reach worldwide celebrity status and to amass a fortune from his writing. We are all familiar with his Klondike Gold Rush classics like The Call of the Wild and White Fang but his large literary output included dozens of novels, short stories, plays, memoirs, poetry, and non-fiction. He even wrote two novels in the nascent genre of science fiction:  indeed, his dystopian novel Iron Heel had a significant influence on George Orwell in his writing of 1984. So said The Washington Post in a review: 'If you want to acquaint yourself with the writer whom much of the rest of the world equates with Melville, Hemingway and Faulkner, then begin with Labor's elegantly written, thoroughly researched and steel-eyed biography.'

Grab your needles and yarn and come join this informal group. Make friends, get tips and share ideas while working on your own project. Drop-in session. No registration required. No fee.

Please join us as Ray Rauth leads a discussion of Katherine Anne Porter's short novel Noon Wine.

This group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month from September through May, excluding December. Call the Senior Center for details and to register at 203-834-6240. Comstock Community Center, 180 School Road, Wilton.

Katherine Anne Porter’s literary production may not have been large in quantity but it more than makes up for that in terms of its quality and she is especially masterful in her short fiction. Indeed, the compilation of her short stories and short novels, which includes Noon Wine, won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award when it came out in 1966. This short novel is essentially a Greek tragedy set in a shabby, down-at-heel farm in Texas. The New York Times Book Review said: 'If it is the function of the artist to produce a masterpiece, Miss Porter may rest easy. In Noon Wine she has written a short novel whose largeness of theme, tragic inevitability, and steadiness of focus put it into the small category of superb short fiction that includes Joyce, Mann, Chekhov, James, and Conrad.'
