As the saying goes, clothes makes the person, and by extension, how we decorate our living space makes a statement about who we are. What items do we choose to surround ourselves with after long day at work? What determines our furniture selections? Is it a desire for fashion, strictly utilitarian, or flat out comfort? This month's speaker is the talented Miss Canolli Capalini of Capalini Fine Furnishings. She is a well respected woodworker and patron of the arts in New Babbage. Salon patrons have long benefitted from her ingenious salon chairs. However you choose to feather your nest, please join us on November 15.

By Whitman, Biweekly!
Tuesday, 17 November, 2009

A Discussion led by Dame Kghia Gheardi of the works of Walt Whitman By Whitman, Biweekly! Alternate Tuesdays at 4pm SLT Caledon Library, on the Hub in Victoria City
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Victoria%20City/160/117/23

Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is one of the works at the foundations of American poetry. Its expansive attempt to capture the spirit and landscape of the 19th century United States has influenced an entire culture's self-concept, and its rich language continues to inspire readers today as it has for the century and a half of its existence.

"By Whitman, Biweekly" will provide an opportunity to look closely at this beloved work. Each time we'll spend an hour discussing its context and examining the poetry of the the 1855 first edition. The series will also give those who love Leaves of Grass, and those who would like to learn more, an opportunity to explore Whitman's vigorous and heartfelt poetry together.

Schedule:
Nov 17
Dec 1, 15, & 29
