Born to Ponder
Poetry recitation. Cederburg writes and recites her own poetry. The main themes are horses, Old West, new West, family, country, nature, prairie life, and faith. She can make you laugh, cry, or at least think a little.
Write, Re-write, Re-write, Now Memorize and Recite
This presentation is an introduction into the steps of writing and performing poetry. Covered topics include: the importance of titles, using a good hook, memorization tools, confidence in front of an audience, and where to find inspiration. The program gives the audience some how-to steps to immortalize their stories.
Hearts of the Hills
(Note: This is a combined presentation with fellow Humanities scholar Margaret (Pegie) Douglas.)
Cederburg and Douglas are a musician/poet duo who will give you a glimpse of the Black Hills and the West. Stirred by stories in song and poetry, they will have you sitting around the campfire, riding the hills, and taking a walk back through history. Douglas’ strong beautiful voice and Cederburg’s “meadowlark in the morning crispness” blend well together, transitioning smoothly from song to spoken word.
