COMING SOON


Photographs from the continuing series, "Brass Valley Made in America," will be on exhibition through June and July at the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury.


On Wednesday, June 19, in the library auditorium at 6:30 pm I will give a power point presentation of additional images from the book, accompanied by poetry and prose selections from it, and I will discuss discoveries along the tracks and in old industrial sites throughout the valley.

Cowtopia Reconsidered


As it turns out, the dream of Cowtopia was nothing but a dream. Mary-Del Farm is next door to Maples Farm. The pastures lie side by side. The farm road on which I descended led through the Maples pastures. The cows there are not dairy cows but beef cows. It may well be they all followed me in hope that I might be their pied piper. I met Bessie here on the way back. Perhaps that is an expression of disappointment if not utter cynicism.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
