Word Magic:
An Afternoon of the Lyrical
with Poets Arlene Distler and Steve Minkin
Please join us for an afternoon of poetry with Brattleboro poets, Arlene Distler and Steve Minkin. Each poet will be reading from their recently published works;
"This Earth, This Body" by Arlene Distler
Brattleboro Reformer, written December 5, 2022. Laura C. Stevenson:
"Arlene Iris Distler's 'This Earth, This Body' is a beautifully wrought poetry collection. She found the self-discipline to turn her insights and compassion into poetry, and as the founder of the Brattleboro writing group Write Action, she created a community in which poetry and prose could develop. Every poem in this collection is a testimony to the woman who, grounded securely in "this earth, this body," has quietly become one of the most perceptive and moving of Vermont's poets."
and "Where People are Trees" by Steve Minkin.
Tim Mayo, a well known Vermont poet, writes in his endorsement
"Steve Minkin is a Truth Traveler- not just geographically but also spiritually. In Where People are Trees transformation takes root in the truths he finds and speaks. Epiphanies are found and lost ("for a moment / I can see how far I could not see") as they often are in the truth seeker's shape shifting world."
Wine and Cheese Reception to follow.
