Wednesday, April 19th, 3:30-4:30pm: Thomas Calten | Depth Charges
In Depth Charges, the author shows us how a deeper, more sensitive approach to life can extract valuable insight from our daily experiences. In a series of thought-provoking essays, we accompany Calten on an incisive journey through childhood days, the Vietnam War years, life in corporate America, online dating, the animal world, and places existing only in our mind and spirit. Outspoken, poignant, and always thought provoking, Calten can be painfully honest while providing a refreshing dose of humor as he describes his reactions to life events.
Scientist, musician, recording artist, environmentalist, lecturer, and incessant observer...Tom Calten began his dance with life in a small Long Island, New York town, just minutes from the ocean. That childhood setting provided endless opportunities for exploration and analysis - skills that he would use for things to come.
