Join me and Sam Gluck at Wisdom House on July 12 for yoga and poetry.
I posed the question "What is the nature of Woodbury?" on a Google form linked to the Woodbury Public Library in February, 2024, and within weeks I had a broad selection of poetry, prose, and visual art to create a book exploring how the denizens of this small town saw and experienced our very special place.
In the process of creating this book and sharing it at a launnch that our library hosted, friendships formed, the Orenaug Poetry Group grew in numbers, and we together realized that we love the beauty of our natural world and appreciate how it enriches us--regardless of the issues that might divide us.
The book arranged itself as I compiled the pieces and laid out the pages. Hands down, this was one of the most gratifying experiences I have ever had, and I am ever grateful to Library Director Susan Mutschler for her support and kindness along the way.
