“Tell Me Something Good!” with Marian Madonia
      • April 29, 2008, Wichita and Hillsboro
      • April 30, 2008, Hutchinson and Newton
      • May 1, 2008, Salina and McPherson

Sometimes it is easier to tell someone what went wrong with our day than it is to “tell me something good!” Marian Madonia, owner of Madonia International, will help us look at the difficult “garbage” experiences in our life and motivate us to focus on the “something good.” This is a practical program (with a healthy dose of humor) to help us look differently at life’s situations so that we might turn the circumstances around to the benefit of ourselves and others. A gifted storyteller, Marian brings to life the lessons that are universal for all of us.

Commenting on Howell’s work two time National Book Award winner Albert Goldbarth has said “I wish I could describe this new book of Christopher Howell’s. But…these poems are always topsyturvying our expectations…with every turn of the page---and yet are connected, too: by deep thought worn lightly, and by large vision writ in small details.”

These programs are sponsored by Hutchinson Community College and the Hutchinson/Reno Arts and Humanities Council for more information please contact Daniel Spees, HCC, 620/665-3435, or Mark Rassette at HRAH, 620/662-1280, hrah@cox.net. Books will be available for purchase at the events.
