Reading and Book Signing with Megan Chaskey at Guild Hall

Sunday, December 18 at 2pm

FREE Admission – Reservations encouraged

In conjunction with the current exhibition Connie Fox and William King: An Artist Couple, Megan Chaskey, Sag Harbor poet, musician, teacher, healing practitioner, and daughter of East Hampton painter Connie Fox, will be reading from her book Birdsong Under the Wisdom Tree: Collected Poems, A Book of Hours in the Life of a Poet. Megan interweaves a lifetime of poems, journal entries, and memoir as she traces the development of her poet’s sensibility and voice grounded in her experience growing up in an artistic family.

The cover of the book features a painting by Connie Fox. Megan also honors her stepfather, the late, local sculptor, William King in one section as well as with several poems. “Bill King was such a warm supporter of my poetry,” says Megan Chaskey, “and the inspiration for this book from the beginning.”
