Elise Paschen

"It is difficult to get the news from poems, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there."

-William Carlos Williams

Would you like to bring a bit of poetry into your life? Experiment with reading poetry? Explore a broader range of poetry? Discover and discuss poetry in a group of like-minded readers?

We wish to announce the newly forming Northshire Poetry Reading Group which will begin meeting on a monthly basis, Thursday, October 25th, at 6pm in our conference room.

The anthology, Poetry Speaks: Expanded Edition, by Elise Paschen has been chosen to initiate the group and is now on reserve for new members. Poetry Speaks will be the focus of discussion and discovery for the October, November, and December meetings.

We are proud and excited to have our dear friend and ever present customer Claire North to lead and moderate this group as poetic form is reviewed, old favorites recalled, and new poems discovered.

Claire North holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College, participates in a variety of Poetry forums regionally, including Rensselaerville's annual Festival of Writers, and has been a minister for 20 years, 17 of them here in Vermont. She makes poetry a part of every ceremony, service and day of her life.

Please register or inquire by emailing Nancy, nscheemaker@northshire.com, or Claire, revclairenorth@mac.com .
