| Description: |
Join poets Joan Aleshire, Meg Kearney, and Ellen Dudley for An Evening of Poetry II at Brooks Memorial Library, Wednesday, May 23, beginning at 7 PM in the meeting room.
Happily, Joan Aleshire’s fifth book of poems, examines a childhood of privilege and difference in a remarkable Baltimore family during the 1940s and ‘50s. The collection offers vivid glimpses of 20th century history as it explores the trials, challenges and joys of relationships within the family and beyond that have influenced the developing consciousness of a particular self in the world [...] Poet Stephen Dobyns says, "Aleshire’s poems are as much sound as sense, and together they don’t so much talk about a vanished time as recreate it with all its many levels of actuality and gradations of emotion."
Meg Kearney’s Home By Now (Four Way Books 2009) was a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize and Foreword Magazine Book of the Year, and winner of the 2010 PEN New England LL Winship Award. She is author of An Unkindness of Ravens (BOA Editions 2001), and the novels-in-verse for teens The Secret of Me, (Persea Books 2005) and The Girl in the Mirror (Persea 2012).

Director of the Solstice Creative Writing Programs of Pine Manor College in Massachusetts, Meg was Associate Director of the National Book Foundation—sponsor of the National Book Awards—for more than 11 years. Her work has been featured on “A Writer’s Almanac” and appears in myriad anthologies. A native New Yorker, Meg lives in New Hampshire.
