Lamar Richardson:
Everyday Light
Thursday, May 2, 6-8pm
~ first Thursdays ~
Lamar Richardson bought his first camera in 1970 with
his first paycheck, and has been taking pictures ever
since. He looks at photography with an artist eye,
as a faster way to paint. After retiring from
AT&T in 2008, Lamar Richardson decided to pursue his
hobby, the interplay of light, shadow and color.
Richardson likes getting up early and staying out late,
waiting for the best light. Beauty is everywhere,
like light is everywhere. Digital photography has
made life easier for Richardson as a photographer; he
can shoot and see the picture in no time at all.
The more pictures Richardson takes, the more he learns
and the more he wants to learn.
Book Signing with
Tracy Chevalier
Wednesday, May 22,
7-8:30 pm
~ special event ~
Come meet friendly and
smart Tracy Chevalier! Tracy is the best-selling
author of The Virgin Blue, Girl with a Pearl
Earring, Burning Bright, Remarkable Creatures.
Her most recent is The Last Runaway, about an
English Quaker who moves to Oberlin, Ohio and gets
involved in the Underground Railroad. Tracy says
her inspiration for the novel came when she visited
her alma mater Oberlin College for Toni Morrison’s
unveiling of “Bench by the Road,” a commemorative
bench placed at the site of historical significance
for African-Americans. So Tracy began
researching the Underground Railroad, Oberlin,
Quakers, and quilting. These all factor in to
her new novel.

Thomas Hardy: The
Return of the NativeThursday, May 23, 7-8:30 pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
One of Thomas Hardy's most powerful works, The Return of the Native centers famously on Egdon Heath, the wild, haunted Wessex moor that D. H. Lawrence called "the real stuff of tragedy." The heath's changing face mirrors the fortunes of the farmers, inn-keepers, sons, mothers, and lovers who populate the novel. The "native" is Clym Yeobright, who comes home from a cosmopolitan life in Paris. He; his cousin Thomasin; her fiancé, Damon Wildeve; and the willful Eustacia Vye are the protagonists in a tale of doomed love, passion, alienation, and melancholy as Hardy brilliantly explores that theme so familiar throughout his fiction: the diabolical role of chance in determining the course of a life. As Alexander Theroux asserts in his Introduction, Hardy was "committed to the deep expression of [nature's] ironic chaos and strange apathy, even hostility, toward man."

Live
Music
Red Brick
Rhoades
Friday, May 31,
7-8:30 pm
~ Friday night music ~
Singer-songwriter, Red Chrosniak, learned guitar to
make his habit of doodling lyrics on old envelope backs
both productive and sustainable. Far from her native
prairie, Becca Rhoades lends her improvisational
fiddling skills and a little of her Texas drawl to the
songs he writes. Red and Becca started playing together
upon discovering their shared love of heart-free
dancing, getting lost, and making both mischief and
music. Their voices create a sweet lyrical blend with
the fiddle harmonies and their onstage chemistry is
often augmented with cheeky interplay. Red Brick Rhoades
offers original songs about the permutations of love,
the trials and tribulations of life, and the joys of
moonlight, moonshine, and being moonstruck. Check out a
sample.
