I’ve covered arts and entertainment and written humor columns at The Day for almost a quarter-century.

Here at the Library, looking forward to spring and our new programs, “recovered greenness” is what I feel. Reaching out to the writers, poets, biographers, scholars all, in our community whose programs had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, I feel a sense of renewal and hope for new beginnings.
