Being part of the audience can be magical too. Speaking of, we recently attended events with Naomi Shihab Nye and Marion Winick. It was so reassuring to feel that unifying human connection when the opposite seems to take up more and more of our public spaces, etc. (See my photo on FB. It’s refusing to appear here.)
I also met Jennifer A. Browne, a fellow poet, who teaches at Frostburg in Western Maryland. Here we are with Naomi in the middle:
May your spring be filled with poetry, friends and connection!
Feel free to share these events. Also, we are interested in appearing in other events–in the Mid-Atlantic and further afield–in 2025. Contact us.
