SPEND TIME with a POEM

SPEND TIME with a POEM

This compilation of the OLLI Poetry for Pleasure class offers a kaleidoscopic range of voices, styles, and subjects. Love, loss, friendship, politics, and humor all find expression here in set forms as well as free verse. As I read through the poems, I repeatedly saw how these poets write from within a dedicated group of people that nurture and inspire each other. This collection reveals the importance of community and the beauty people can bring to fruition when working together.
