Our partners from the PA Center for the Book shared this message with me from their director. If other Juniper communities are considering doing a similar project, I think a strong community partner is key:
Congratulations, that was a remarkable program! It brought together so many of the tangents of the PA Center for the Book--how could we not have co-sponsored it? I was moved at each poem which perfectly married literature with story, and in this case, the story of some very interesting older people.
And that is the brilliant part of the project, as these poets turned their ordinary lives into extraordinary words--all of these ordinary people lived extraordinary lives. We all do live unique lives and your poetry shared those ultimately transcendent experiences beyond the walls of their rooms or houses or memories.I was quite moved, as was the entire audience.
