Dr. Stevenson's talk on "Faith, Communities, and Resistance" is the final program in Part II of the "Other Book" series. Before schools were integrated, Black teachers taught from two books…the official book sanctioned by the government, and the "other book." This lecture, like others in the series, will discuss contributions of Black Americans to our country to help to fill in our history that has been "white washed." The program is free and open to the public.

Come join us on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. when Aliesa Zoecklein will talk about poetry. Zoecklein's poems have been published in New Feathers Anthology, Bacopa Literary Review, Thimble Literary Magazine, River Heron Review, and other journals. Her chapbook At Each Moment, Air won the Peter Meinke Poetry Prize and was published by YellowJacket Press. "The thrill of writing poems is in the discovery," Zoecklein says, "so I love to talk about how we can journey ourselves toward that surprise. I'll share some practices I use when first searching for my poems and then drafting." She will offer ideas about how to keep our initial attempts playful and wide-ranging. And how, if we're lucky, these practices can dispel resistance or boredom. She'll also discuss how shaping the poem—deciding on line breaks, for example—can help open the poem in a generative way. "I am always learning anew how to trust language to lift me toward what I don't already know. I look forward to exchanging ideas and taking the group through one or two fun exercises. Zoecklein taught writing for twenty-five years at Santa Fe College. Happily retired, she lives with her wife in Gainesville, Florida, where she writes, gardens, and studies Spanish. The program is free and open to the public.

This program is being held on the FIRST Sunday in May since Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday.  Come join us on May 3, at the Millhopper Library when author Benjamin Coward will share strategies for drafting, writing, and fully developing environmental scenes. Drawing on his background in Environmental Science, he has interwoven environmental issues throughout his published books. And he has much to share concerning the importance of environmental scenes whether in fiction, memoir, or other nonfiction books. He will reveal how we writers can use environmental scenes to enhance the story line, plot, and character movement. He will share his scene-writing tips that will help engage readers and draw them deeper into the story, thereby helping them better understand the world around them. Coward earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science from the Southern New Hampshire University. He is originally from the Saint Louis area in Missouri. He moved to Florida in the spring of 2013 to further his education. He still lives in Gainesville with his wife, Julia, and two-year-old daughter. Like all of WAG's Sunday programs, this one is free and open to the public.
