Next week, we will launch the Roethke & ... Virtual Series in which contemporary poets and scholars discuss Roethke's influence on their own work and on other poets, past & present.

The Stone House is a regionally unique structure renowned for its relation to the American poet Theodore Roethke.

As restoration at the Stone House stretches into its third year, much of the Stone House has been restored, with the bulk of the final work just up ahead. 

With the funds raised from this campaign, crucial repairs to the Stone House’s exterior will be completed to prevent raccoon re-entry. 

In this series of four programs, “Sighs into Songs,” our artists will talk about how and why they have created the “songs” they have and will read and discuss examples of their work. All programs are at 7:00 pm on Tuesdays.

In 2020 we launched a virtual Speaker Series to provide a way to connect with a community of writers inspired by Roethke’s work and dive deeply into Roethke’s poetry. We were so encouraged by your participation that the series is now entering its fourth year with new guest speakers and a new theme, “Sighs into Songs,” for 2023.
