Boulder City Library

Community Room

Listen to two renowned poets speak on the realities of life.

Daryl and James performances are road tested, giving a unique blend of humble, colloquial pragmatism with sudden bursts of found beauty, a thrift store amalgamation of philosophy and political theory, blended collage-style into that oldest of human traditions—right-from-the-gut storytelling. That old-timey campfire communion is also, technically, humanity’s very first religion. Be prepared to laugh a little as these stories unfold, and even to leave a pinch misty-eyed, if you aren’t careful and let your guard down. They both know how to sneak into a club, and what is a human heart but the most exclusive club of all?

More than anything, though, like all things built on the road (and even by the road), whatever it is you are expecting, be prepared to be surprised. Be prepared to wonder…
