Author Talk with Ira Joe Fisher: “The Birth of Snow”

Join us at the Ridgefield Library, March 26th at 7pm, for the celebration of Ridgefield Poet Laureate Ira Joe Fisher’s latest book, The Birth of Snow.

This lyrical poetry collection offers an evocative exploration of life in Annville and the enduring rhythms of rural America. Through skillful and heartfelt verse, the poet captures the rich texture of small-town existence, painting intimate portraits of its people and their stories. Seasonal changes, particularly the stark beauty of winter’s snow, serve as a recurring motif, evoking both the passage of time and nature’s unyielding presence. These poems thrive on quiet moments of observation, transforming the seemingly ordinary into something deeply resonant.

Balancing wistful nostalgia with sharp, clear-eyed insight, this collection weaves a vivid tapestry of place and time. It celebrates the enduring beauty found in life’s quieter moments, offering a profound meditation on the interconnectedness of people, place, and the natural world.

Books will be available for purchase and signing!
