First Thursdays Epic Poetry is a monthly series where we gather live on Zoom to read, discuss, and make sense of some of the longest living epics that have influenced literature, popular culture, and how we think about the past. Together, we will explore Homer’s the Iliad and then the Odyssey, and finally, ending our 10-month series with Beowulf. The live Zoom classes are designed to give you confidence and support you as you read between our live gatherings. Even if you’ve read it once (or many times, like me) you’ll find that there is always something new that arises from these ancient texts, that echoes our modern day struggles or reminds you of what it means to be human.

Called "country music’s modern traditionalist," Carter Winter connects with an audience through a fresh sound that like Carter himself, is surprisingly familiar, yet raw and honest. Winter has been influenced by living a life on the edge but having the wherewithal to share life’s ups and downs through songs. As a creative talent, Winter is compelled to do what he does, even if there’s no fallback option. The challenges are what makes the music stand out. Also appearing on this show are country artists Miranda Ramos, Sara Jade and Ash Easton.
