SUMMARY:Poetry Sunday: A Celebration of Our Humanity Through the Arts
DESCRIPTION:We are hosting a poetry reading with several poets\, ranging from absolute amateur to published authors. Please join us in supporting the arts! \nMorrow Dowdle (they/them) is the author of the chapbook Hardly (Bottlecap Press\, 2024) and has work forthcoming from New York Quarterly\, RATTLE\, ONE ART\, and Southeast Review. They have been nominated for the Pushcart and Best of the Net\, and were a finalist for the 2024 Red Wheelbarrow Poetry Prize. They work as a creative consultant for NC Public Art and run a performance series which features BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ voices. An MFA candidate at Pacific University\, they live in Durham\, North Carolina. \n\nHugh Giblin is a sometimes poet\, sometimes activist\, and sometimes supporter of the Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle.  He is also a master of the brief bio form. \n\nEric R. Pedersen is a retired English professor who is a published poet and author of a textbook\, Challenging Composition. Pedersen taught creative writing at Butler County Community College (PA) for thirty years and advised the BC3 Writers’ Club and FACETS\, the College’s award-winning arts and literary magazine. He is the author of Voyages\, a book of poetry that was compiled and published during COVID in 2021. A member of the Thoreau Society and Hemingway Society\, he is an avid canoeist\, fisherman\, hiker and traveler. Pedersen lives on a lake near Hillsborough\, NC and is a proud and dedicated father and grandfather. \n\nJeff (Blue) Marvin grew up moving every four to six years as the quintessential preacher’s kid. Blue’s father was also a poet but their styles differed so much his father once asked him\, “I wonder what a psychiatrist would say about your poems?” Blue started writing poetry as a grade schooler but it became a compulsion in college\, studying under his mentor Peter Meinke at Eckerd College. Peter’s influence is easily seen by the vivid imagery and the truthful diction of Blue’s poems. The subjects of many of Blue’s poems are society\, nature\, relationships and the arts. All of which usually have a hint of humor. Blue’s poetry has been published in the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel\, The Tethered Muse\, and the Dreaming Tree. \n  \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.

SUMMARY:Could The War in Vietnam Have Turned Out Differently?
DESCRIPTION:Jim Buie will present us with an exploration of how the war in Vietnam may have turned out differently.  He writes on Substack (Slender Threads)\, and this presentation is based on his post back in May.  Here’s an excerpt from that post: \n“The most convincing and disturbing thesis was by historian Max Boot’s “The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam (2017). It profiled the CIA operative who was so successful in thwarting a leftist revolt in the Philippines and who was an early architect of Vietnam policy. Landsdale was a constructive\, benign adviser to South Vietnamese President Diem\, Boot contends. But he was shifted to the Cuban crisis in 1956\, and then returned to Vietnam after that fiasco — takeover by the communist revolutionary Fidel Castro — to salvage Vietnam. \n“If the US had followed Lansdale’s early Vietnam strategy\, Vietnam’s course might have been different\, Boot wrote. Without Lansdale’s influence\, Diem became paranoid and reactionary\, and set his country to become\, within a decade\, “a failing state kept alive only with heavy infusions of American blood.” \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.
