The Arkansas Haiku Society and the Zen Center of Hot Springs will celebrate the Summer Solstice with Haiku, Zen, and Bob Dylan at the Garland County Library. This is a production of Howard Lee Kilby in cooperation with the public library.
A Zen Life – D.T. Suzuki, was produced and directed by Michael Goldberg. Goldberg gave Kilby permission to show the film at a free showing. This program is Friday, June 17, from 9 AM – 12 PM, followed by lunch at the World Buffet.
Tangled Up In Bob is a documentary film narrated by author Natalie Goldberg. The film has never-before-seen interviews of Dylan’s hometown and childhood friends. The Dylan session is from 2-5 PM. Discussion will follow both films. If you’re a Dylan fan, you’ll love it.
Kilby worked at Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island during 1964-67, where he met Dylan many times. “Bob Dylan changed my life,” Kilby said. “He gave me the courage to think for myself. I endured eight winters in Massachusetts with the cold Nor’Easter winds howling off the Atlantic with Dylan’s songs in my heart.” For more information, call 501-767-6096 or email Howard Lee Kilby hkilby@hotmail.com.
