It's St. Patrick's Day and it's a darker occasion than you think...so, naturally, we need a drink! Join us for an "Irish or not?" quiz and readings of two Irish writings while we enjoy festive pairings of baked potatoes, Girl Scout cookies, and various alcoholic drinks! Reading: "Quarantine" by Eavan Boland "A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick" by Jonathan Swift *Bonus - The poem about a cat that Nicole references is titled "Pangur Bán", written by a unidentified 9th century Irish monk. The most popular translation of this poem was translated by Robin Flowers.
