  • Another Side to Jonathan Swift: Poems to His Friend and Companion, "Stella"

  • Jonathan Swift is best known as the author of the sharply satirical Gulliver's Travels, but he was also a poet. Among his most interesting poetic works is a series of birthday poems addressed to his longtime friend and companion, Esther Johnson, whom he called Stella. The poems, focused on friendship and the passage of time, range in tone from the gently satirical to the deeply heartfelt. This class will provide biographical background against which to read and interpret several of these poems as they reveal the emotional side of the typically-acerbic Swift.

  • American Civics 101: A Crash Course!

  • REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. This class is already in session.
  • Many of us born in the United States tend to take our rights as U. S. citizens for granted. Legal permanent residents looking to become U. S. citizens have to take a civics test as part of their immigration services interview. What if each of us had to take a citizenship test every year to remain a U. S. citizen? Would we be able to pass? American Civics 101 is a timely five-part discussion that provides a simple but comprehensive path to understanding what every person applying for U. S. citizenship today needs to know… how our U. S. government is supposed to work!
