The poems in Melanie Green‘s A Long, Wide Stretch of Calm (The Poetry Box) are an invitation to slow down, to rest deep into quiet and the contemplative. Melanie Green’s poetry explores the connection with the numinous—as well as speaking to the difficulty of living with a chronic illness.  https://thepoetrybox.com/bookstore/long-wide-stretch-of-calm

In Shadow Man (The Poetry Box), Margaret Chula brings her father out of the shadows where he had been since 1957, the day her mother packed their five children—all under the age of ten—into the car and drove away. Over the years, Margaret comes to accept the differences between a mother who wants China cups with saucers and a father who’s content with a Budweiser. Through writing about these awkward, often heartbreaking, interactions with her estranged father, she discovers that there’s more than one truth and that each of us must find our own.  https://thepoetrybox.com/bookstore/shadow-man

From the universal to the personal, the formal to the experimental, Carolyn Martin’s fourth poetry collection, A Penchant for Masquerades (Unsolicited Press), takes an unflinching look at the fluidity of truth, time, identity, history, death, and relationships. A lover of all things poetic, Martin has created an eclectic collection for readers who have a penchant for words and who are open to believing in everything and nothing. Carolyn will also be sharing poems from her 2nd poetry collection, The Way A Woman Knows (The Poetry Box). https://thepoetrybox.com/bookstore/the-way-a-woman-knows

 

Free to Attend. All are welcome to share the love of poetry by these phenomenal women.

Books will be available at the event or you can also order copies of the book in our Bookstore.
