SUMMARY:Staying Curious and in Community When the Conversation is Tough: An Interactive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Many of us have the experience of being pulled into arguments that feel destructive to our relationships and not helpful to understanding others or feeling understood.

This interactive workshop will help you notice and disrupt destructive patterns and find ways to stay curious and connected in your community. \nThe workshop will be led by John Sarrouf\, Co-Director of Essential Partners and a panelist at the Oct. 24 Community Conversation on civil discourse\, and Maggie Herzig\, Sr. Associate Emerita of Essential Partners. The workshop sponsored by the Lexington Lyceum Advocates. \nPlease visit the Lexington Lyceum Advocates website (lexlyceum.org/events) to register.

SUMMARY:Creating Landscapes for Bird Diversity with Claudia Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Our landscapes have a tremendous impact on bird diversity\, and with so many native bird populations in steep decline\, understanding their needs is more important than ever. \nUsing photographs and her urban garden as a case study\, Claudia will explore the essential principles for creating avian friendly landscapes for a wide variety of landbird species — from songbirds\, to owls\, woodpeckers\, and more. Native plants provide the foundation\, with healthy flora-fauna relationships that are essential for food and habitat. Also important is the structure of the landscape itself\, so that it offers varied canopy layers\, protective cover\, and water. Finally\, she will consider the pros and cons of our human interactions with birds\, using birdfeeders and nest boxes\, and through the design of our built environment. Every landscape matters and each of us can make a difference! \nClaudia Thompson founded Grow Native Massachusetts in 2010 and served as the organization’s President and Executive Director through its first decade\, simultaneously becoming recognized nationally as a leader in the native plant movement.

SUMMARY:League of Women Voters Lexington First Friday
DESCRIPTION:League of Women Voters of Lexington \nFirst Friday November 3\, 2023 \nMeet Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan \nHear DA Ryan discuss her work as DA and the challenge of misinformation/disinformation in these difficult times. \nAcross the country\, and in our state\, there is a new understanding of the importance of local and statewide elected offices in shaping government and preserving our democracy. This is especially true of the office of District Attorney here in Massachusetts and across the land. \nThe next League of Women Voters\, Lexington First Friday program will take place on Friday November 3\, 2023\, 9:30 AM\, at the Lexington Community Center\, 39 Marrett Road\, Lexington\, MA 02421. \nThe program will introduce Middlesex DA Marian Ryan and highlight her important work serving the largest county in New England\, covering 54 cities and towns. The office represents Massachusetts in many cases in 11 district courts\, 4 juvenile courts\, and 2 superior courts located throughout the county. \nDistrict Attorney Marian Ryan is well known for her innovative work confronting racial injustice\, reducing unfair judicial practices\, addressing the opioid crisis\, supporting immigration\, and pioneering restorative justice—among her many priorities and accomplishments. During her tenure\, the DA Office has created many of the best-in-class crime prevention programs as well as a Cold Case Unit that has delivered justice and answers in decades’-old crimes. But recently DA Marian Ryan has set out to confront one of the most challenging problems of our time: the rise in disinformation/misinformation and the challenge to young and old to fact check information and differentiate truth from falsehood. “If we lose the ability to accept objective facts\,” she said “it eats away at our democracy.” District Attorney Ryan grew up in Somerville and is a summa cum laude graduate of Emmanuel College and a cum laude graduate of Boston College Law School. \nThis program is the third in the 2023-2024 LWV First Friday Forum series hosted by the League of Women Voters to promote awareness and understanding of public policy issues. There will be time for Q&A after the program. \nFor more information about the League and this program go to https://my.lwv.org/massachusetts.lexington.\nThe League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization dedicated to the principles of self-government established in the Constitution of the United States. The League works to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government. For more information\, contact the League convener Margaret Coppe at mecoppe@gmail.com. \nAll Lexington League forums are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Animal Joy: The Serious Nature of Laughter with Nuar Asadir
DESCRIPTION:Animal Joy is an ode to spontaneity and feeling alive. In her invigorating\, continuously surprising book about the serious nature of laughter\, Alsadir ranges from her experience in clown school\, Anna Karenina’s morphine addiction\, Freud’s un-Freudian behaviors\, marriage brokers and war brokers\, to “Not Jokes\,” laugh tracks\, the problem with adjectives\, and how poetry can wake us up. At the center of the book\, however\, is the author’s relationship with her daughters\, who erupt into the text like sudden\, unexpected laughter. These interventions are like tiny revolutions\, pointedly showing the dangers of being severed from one’s true self and hinting at ways one might be called back to it. \nNuar Alsadir is a poet\, nonfiction writer\, and psychoanalyst. She is the author of Animal Joy; Fourth Person Singular\, which was shortlisted for the 2017 Forward Prize for Best Collection in England and in Ireland and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry; and More Shadow Than Bird. Her poems and essays have appeared in numerous publications\, including The Paris Review\, Granta\, New York Times Magazine\, Slate\, Kenyon Review\, and Ploughshares. She appears on Showtime’s docuseries\, Couples Therapy\, as one of the psychoanalysts in the peer supervision group\, in the third\, fourth and fifth seasons. She lives in New York City\, where she works as a psychoanalyst in private practice.

SUMMARY:Voices on the Green\, "Home" October 20\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Lexington’s acclaimed storytelling and music series\, Voices on the Green\, presents its fall production on the theme of “Home” on Friday\, October 20\, at 7:00 PM. The program is presented at First Parish in Lexington (7 Harrington Road\, on the Battle Green)\, and tickets for the show are now available through the VOG website (https://voicesonthegreen.org/ ). Tickets not sold in advance will also be available at the door on the evening of the performance. \n“Home” offers up stories from six individuals\, sharing reflections that range from heartbreaking to hopeful to hilarious. A woman (Mercedes) from an abusive home becomes unhoused for years before turning her life around; an Indian woman’s (Tejpreet) multi-faith neighbors come through in a time of sectarian violence; a man’s (Dave) stable childhood community provides a compass that guides him through life; a city dweller (Victoria) makes the most of her new life in rural Oklahoma. An indigenous woman (Chali’naru) prevails in the face of landlords’ anti-poverty discrimination; a man (Robert)\, hopeless at simple carpentry\, is challenged by his wife to take on daunting home improvement projects. \nMusic complementing the theme will be provided by acclaimed singer/songwriter Kemp Harris. The show is hosted by award-winning spoken-word artist Regie O’Hare Gibson. Voices on the Green partners with a community organization carrying forward work that aligns with the performance theme. The community partner for this show is Chaplains on the Way\, based in Waltham. Chaplains on the Way (https://www.chaplainsontheway.us/ ) works with the unhoused community to offer support and assistance to achieve affordable housing\, mental health and substance-abuse services\, spiritual care\, and more. \nVoices on the Green is a program of First Parish in Lexington. Those who have attended previous shows have remarked on the amazing sense of community connection engendered when diverse storytellers and musicians perform. Founded in 2017 as a community-building endeavor to develop new voices and new relationships in the community and to create connections between performers and audience\, the series now attracts a wide audience from many parts of the greater Lexington community.

SUMMARY:You\, You\, You: Finding the Address of Poetry with PÅDRAIG Ó TUAMA
DESCRIPTION:Ó Tuama has become a shepherd in the shambolic tradition of contemporary spirituality\, treating poetry as a form of agnostic prayer. Poetry\, for him\, is the language the heart speaks not when it reaches for some externalized divinity but when it seeks to understand itself. —The New Yorker \nA poem is a word event going in many directions at once. Sometimes the you of a poem is a specific person\, other times it’s the poet\, other times it’s a general audience\, and still other times\, there’s no you at all\, so the poem addresses itself to the world. This evening Pádraig Ó Tuama will explore the direction\, implication and inspiration contained in poetic verse. \nPádraig Ó Tuama‘s recent PH.D. dissertation examined—among other things—the you of a poem. He presents the Poetry Unbound podcast from On Being Studios\, and lectures and speaks widely. His recent publications include Poetry Unbound; 50 Poems to Open Your World (WW Norton 2022) and Feed the Beast (Broken Sleep Books\, 2022). Kitchen Hymns is forthcoming in 2024.
