Ogden Nash and his family spent their summers on Little Boar’s
Head, in North Hampton, NH. Using examples from their original stage
work, “Home is Heaven,” Pontine Theatre explores the ways in which
Nash’s life on the New Hampshire seashore influenced his poems, giving
the reader insight into the man, his character, and his ideas about
family, society, and nature. These themes form a rich portrait of the
poet and underscore how the intersection of literature and local history
can deepen our understanding and appreciation of everyday events in our
own backyard. Free and open to all thanks to a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council. The NH Humanities Council nurtures
the joy of learning and inspires community engagement by bringing
life-enhancing ideas from the humanities to the people of New
Hampshire. They connect people with ideas. Learn more about the
council and its work at www.nhhc.org.
