Welcome to Art & Verse! On January 13th, we’re celebrating:
- Horatio Alger (b. 1832), known for his inspiring rags-to-riches tales embodying the American Dream.
- Michael Bond (b. 1926), beloved creator of Paddington Bear, who has delighted readers of all ages since 1958.
- Charles Perrault (b. 1628), the French author whose iconic fairytales, including Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, laid the groundwork for the genre.
Today’s featured poem is “Fog” by Carl Sandburg, a brief but vivid piece that captures the quiet, mysterious nature of fog as it rolls into a city.
