SUMMARY:Celebrating Fifty Years of Capitol Hill Poetry
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereThe Capitol Hill Poetry Group began on the Hill in 1975\, when a group of poets came together to share and critique their work. To mark our 50th Anniversary\, we are publishing The Other Side of the Hill—1975-2025\, the 3rd anthology of our poems\, and invite you to join us for readings\, refreshments\, and celebration on Sunday\, November 2 at 5PM. \nThe Capitol Hill Poetry Group formed in 1975\, when Sally Crowell\, of CHAW\, put Jean Nordhaus (author of 8 volumes of poetry\, but at the time a fledgling poet) in contact with poet and neighbor Shirley Cochrane. With two others\, they began meeting weekly in their homes to share and critique their work. The group\, with changes in membership and\, since the pandemic\, in venue\, has met regularly since 1975. \nIndividual members have published widely in poetry journals and authored numerous books. Current members include Jean Nordhaus\, a former director of the poetry programs at the Folger Shakespeare Library\, Patricia Gray\, who for many years ran the Poet Laureate’s office at the Library of Congress\, Mary Ann Larkin\, Patric Pepper\, and Greg McBride\, editor of the respected online poetry journal\, Innisfree. Featuring readings by Patricia Gray\, Charise Hogue\, Mary Ann Larkin\, Greg McBride\, Nancy Fitz-Hugh Meneely\, Jean Nordhaus\, Patric Pepper\, Noel Salinger\, Rosemary Winslow and Anne Harding Woodworth.

SUMMARY:Overbeck Lecture: Kim Hoagland\, "Comfort and Conveniences in Capitol Hill Row Houses"
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereHeating\, lighting\, and plumbing provide comfort and convenience to the modern home. How did the historic row houses of Capitol Hill accommodate these modern interventions? On Monday\, November 10\, at 7 pm\, during the Overbeck History Lecture at Hill Center\, Old Naval Hospital\, architectural historian and author Alison K. (Kim) Hoagland will highlight how people’s houses and lives changed in the decades after the Civil War. As fireplaces evolved into central heating\, lamps became electrified\, and outdoor privies moved indoors\, new designs of row houses were called for\, influenced by changing ideas about sanitation and the germ theory. While these conveniences became perceived as necessities\, they were not distributed evenly across economic class and geography. This examination of heating\, lighting\, and plumbing will look at the broader ideas concerning public health as well as the specifics of introducing new facilities into row houses with an emphasis on Capitol Hill. \nAlison K. (Kim) Hoagland is the author of The Row House in Washington\, DC: A History (University of Virginia Press\, 2023)\, recently released in paperback\, as well as The Bathroom: A Social History of Cleanliness and the Body (Greenwood Press\, 2018). Ms. Hoagland first moved to Capitol Hill in 1977 and has lived here for a majority of the years since then. She was the Senior Architectural Historian for the Historic American Buildings Survey of the National Park Service\, and then taught History and Historic Preservation at Michigan Technological University\, where she is now Professor Emerita. She has written four other books on various aspects of the\nvernacular architecture of the U.S. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe November 10 Capitol Hill History lecture will be held at Hill Center\, Old Naval Hospital\, 921 Pennsylvania Avenue\, SE\, (202-549-4172)\, beginning at 7 pm. Admission is free but a reservation is requested due to limited capacity. Reservations can be made starting October 27. Seating will begin at 6:30 pm; the power point presentation will begin at 7 pm.
