The class meets once a month, on the first Monday of each month, from September through May. The class is held at 7 pm, with an introductory lecture by Michael Reiff. Students can sign up in advance, or pay at the door, $5 admission.

History Book Club: American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst
History Book Club: American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst
The History Book Club will meet to discuss American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst by Jeffrey Toobin. The saga of Patty Hearst highlighted a decade in which America seemed to be suffering a collective nervous breakdown. Based on more than a hundred interviews and thousands of previously secret documents, American Heiress thrillingly recounts the craziness of the times (there were an average of 1,500 terrorist bombings a year in the early 1970s). Toobin portrays the lunacy of the half-baked radicals of the SLA and the toxic mix of sex, politics, and violence that swept up Patty Hearst and re-creates her melodramatic trial.
Participation is free and open to the public.

Jeffrey-Paul Horn at word, revisited
Jeffrey-Paul Horn at word, revisited
The Cayuga Museum, in partnership with Olive Trees and aaduna, has a new community series exploring original writing in all its diverse, intriguing, provocative, and exciting forms. Simply called word, revisited, this bi-monthly series presents a featured writer, poet, and other creative individuals who primarily use words to define and construct their artistry and means of expression. An open mic session follows the featured speaker, and is open to all.
Our featured reader on May 10 is Jeffrey-Paul Horn.
Jeffrey-Paul Horn was born in Utica, NY and raised in Rome, NY. Mr. Horn briefly attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and shortly after leaving school, he began writing music, and is currently, a performing guitarist. While he started writing poetry as a youngster, he became passionate about content and craft as a maturing adolescent. Jeffrey has always retained an adventurous and rebellious spirit, and plans to pursue an alternative, agrarian lifestyle.
Horn’s work is published by Clare Songbird Publishing House, aaduna, inc., and Snuff Takers Ephemeris, an internationally published magazine for tobacco enthusiasts.
