Dartmouth Events

From award-winning local filmmaker and Dartmouth alumna Nora Jacobson '74 comes a remembrance and celebration of Vermont Poet Laureate Ruth Stone. This lyrical documentary showcases the hard-won wisdom and irrepressible creativity that infuses Stone's work. Weaving together a tapestry of interviews with friends, family and colleagues, archival footage from poetry readings, and clips from Sidney Wolinsky's 1973 short film about Stone, The Excuse, along with animation from Stone's granddaughter Bianca, Ruth Stone's Vast Library of the Female Mind is an intimate and textured portrait of an earthy and elegant woman, and a bold poet through and through. 

A discussion with Nora Jacobson '74 and Bianca Stone will follow the screening.
