Sundays, July 13-August 31
on the Bread & Puppet Farm Glover, VT
Ladles and Jellyspoons!
The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is back with Anti-Empire Art that acknowledges our beloved Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us, and who presents urgently needed domestic resurrection services for the victims of this latest genocide. We are joined by Palestinian cranes on their way to Washington to replace the excrement in the White House with organic bird droppings, green frogs who teach the art of hopping over seemingly insurmountable problems, and gaggles of kindergarten butterflies who frolic to their hearts’ desire.
Join us for a serious and silly circus.

VOTE FORWARD – Help get out the votes! Nationwide action center.
“To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.”

Waterford’s Banned Book Book Club
Meeting at the Davies Memorial Library Meets every two months
Do you have any idea how many books have been banned or challenged in the United States of America? The answer: Countless. A quick Google search will enlighten and disappoint you; give it a try. All are invited to participate in Waterford’s Banned Book Book Club (you don’t have to live in Waterford). We will meet once, every 2 months, to discuss our past read and to pick our next book. Most books will be available at your public library-YAY for public libraries! Our first book is The Handmaid’s Tale. I read this when it was first released and look forward to revisiting it. Context and timing will certainly play into my 2025 perception. I am curious to hear how others feel about it. Hope to hear back from you. – Robin Migdelany

A song
Show me where the fire burns inside you
Let the light of love take hold and guide you
Hand in hand, my brother, we are in this word together.
Show me where your heart cries out in freedom
Break away the chains that hold your feet down
Hand in hand, my sister, we are in this world together.
One voice, one sound, one song to sing
One heart, one pulse, one love to bring
A song by Sarina Partridge: https://sarinapartridge.com/
The red sun rises on a world on fire,
but it also rises on a holy choir.
Singing through the dark times, through the ash and smoke,
weave the grief into the song and sing our way back to home.
A Poem by Sharon Darrow a VT poet
Caliche Rock
Shell creatures swim the waves,
ancient seas sink and rise,
water and earth,
earth and sky,
only the sky’s unchanged.
Springs bubble through caliche rock,
cows graze the wind-blown grass,
flowers bloom
on prairie seas
grown in seashell earth.
The inland sea of old white shells
whose life was water, now gives us oil,
caliche rock,
caliche soil—
Now even the sky is changed.
