Join poet and author Jeffrey Zygmont for his new program, “America’s Birth in Stirring Words: Revolutionary War Battles and the Poems They Inspired” at the Wolfeboro Public Library on Wednesday, August 26 at 6pm. The presentation is free and open to all. 
Patriots went to war to win freedom. Poets went to work to praise them, and to express the spirit of independence and the valor that created our nation. Zygmont will review some key battles of the American Revolution – the people, the tactics, and outcomes – and close each battle review with a historic poem that expresses the emotion and devotion of the soldiers. 
The audience will also get a look at 18th Century weapons, camp practices, home lives, and backgrounds of soldiers. Physical props, plus projections that show maps, paintings, and other illustrations, make the factual, historic aspects of the presentation easier to grasp and appreciate.
Battles covered include Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Trenton, and others. Poems such as “Molly Maguire at Monmouth” and Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” bring the emotion of the conflicts to life. The program is an enjoyable balance between important events in America’s founding, and the poetry they stirred. For more information on this and other library programs please call 603-569-2428 or visit wolfeborolibrary.org.
