Devon Sproule

Devon Sproule (born 23 April 1982, in Kingston, Ontario) is a musician based for many years in Charlottesville, Virginia. She married musician and singer-songwriter Paul Curreri in 2005. She shared the prestigious ASCAP Foundation Sammy Cahn Award for 2009 with Oren Lavie. She and her husband moved to Berlin, Germany, in September 2011. In the spring of 2012 they moved to Austin, Texas.

History

Born to hippie parents on a commune named Dandelion in Kingston, Ontario, Sproule claims citizenship of both Canada and the United States. She spent her childhood on the 465-acre (1.88 km2), 100-member Twin Oaks Community founded in 1967 as an intentional community and ecovillage in Louisa County, Virginia. Asked about how the experience has affected her musical career, she said:

After moving between private, public and home schooling, she eventually left high school, recorded her first record, and began touring nationally—all before the age of eighteen.

She is married to musician Paul Curreri and lived with him in Charlottesville, Virginia. They often performed together locally, and also on tours across the United States and United Kingdom. They were both regular favorites at the now-defunct Gravity Lounge, a major platform for new talent in their hometown.

Devon

Devon (/ˈdɛvən/; archaically known as Devonshire) is a county of England, reaching from the Bristol Channel in the north to the English Channel in the south. It is part of South West England, bounded by Cornwall to the west, Somerset to the northeast, and Dorset to the east. The City of Exeter is the county town; seven other districts of East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, Torridge, and West Devon are under the jurisdiction of Devon County Council; Plymouth and Torbay are each a part of Devon but administered as unitary authorities. Combined as a ceremonial county, Devon's area is 6,707 km2 (2,590 square miles) and its population is about 1.1 million.

Devon derives its name from Dumnonia, which, during the British Iron Age, Roman Britain, and Early Medieval was the homeland of the Dumnonii Brittonic Celts. The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain resulted in the partial assimilation of Dumnonia into the Kingdom of Wessex during the eighth and ninth centuries. The western boundary with Cornwall was set at the River Tamar by King Æthelstan in 936. Devon was constituted as a shire of the Kingdom of England thereafter.

Devon (given name)

Devon is a unisex given name. It is a variant of Devin, which has Gaelic origins and means "of a little deer".

    The village of Devon is a neighborhood of the city of Milford, Connecticut, United States. It lies on the southwest corner of the city bordering Long Island Sound and the mouth of the Housatonic River. The village generally corresponds to the Third Voting District of Milford.

    The village features an Audubon Center overlooking the estuary.

    Municipal services

    Since it lies within the municipality of Milford, all of its municipal services are provided by the city including police, schools, and other essential municipal services. Court services are provided by the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District.

    Geography

    Devon lies on the coast with a great amount of coastline, it also has a surprisingly high amount of inland freshwater swamps. The Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area is located in Devon.

    Flooding

    Due to the low elevation of Devon, the high concentration of structures and pavement along Route 1 and Naugatuck Avenue, Devon experiences flooding during heavy rainstorms on a regular and increasing basis. The flooding also occurs as a result of or coincides with raised waters from Beaver Brook, the Housatonic River, or Long Island Sound.

    Plea For A Good Night's Rest

    by: Devon Sproule

    There are thick stars up above
    Where the trees part themselves
    Thick dust among many
    Corks lined up on the shelf
    And bats in the attic we share, we share
    There is smoke to kill mosquitoes
    Waiting just above to drink our blood
    And gas in a lamp that we light
    When the sun goes down
    My love wakes shaking with nightmare
    And the night air pulls in close around
    Come revenant, come, come ye gentle host,
    To my patient hip and across our sleeping coasts.
    Lay down your mantle, shot through with gold,
    That we may lie again, here in sweet repose.
    Rest your arms down around the oars now
    And hear how the night continues on alive and well.
    When how rare the bird, how still the wind!
    And we still within it sigh and shift and turn,
    saying,
    Sleep she comes to steal the ones who
    Fill their glass and leave the rest,
    Whose teeth get brushed, who eat enough,
    And who know how to treat their friends.
    How long this night seems with
    No sign of a bright dream to guide us toward the day, guide us toward the day.
    Come revenant, come, come ye gentle host.
    To my patient hip and across our sleeping coasts.
    Lay down your mantle, shot through with gold,
