April brings Steffen Pollock to the Weir Farm Artist-in-Residence program. Drawing from several literary sources, Pollock's work will explore the lack of distinction in 'subject' and 'object'. If the land is a text, he expresses himself as a segment of that text. Our view of 'land' is determined by what type of mental interpretive structure we are using to see. 'Seeing' is not and has never been the exclusive domain of the human eye. He will use different means to 'see' including satellite imaging, field recordings, land surveys, and telemetry. Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library.  More info & register

From New York Times national baseball writer and Wiltonian Tyler Kepner comes K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches - a deep dive into the stories, stats, folklore, and nostalgia behind America's pastime told through vivid anecdotes and insights examining the fastball, the curveball, the changeup, the slider, the cutter, the sinker, the splitter, the knuckleball, the screwball, and the spitball. Kepner has found that pitchers almost always love to talk about their craft: 18 of the 25 pitchers with the most strikeouts in the history of the sport have shared their perspectives with him, including Nolan Ryan, Steve Carlton, Bob Gibson, Randy Johnson, and Pedro Martinez.  More info & register
