Please note the new date for the poetry reading we are postponing until roads are better! Poet and Greensboro summer resident Katherine Williams will read her poetry at 4:00 pm on Monday, July 24th, leaving time for participants to have dinner after and make it to the GHS annual meeting at 7:00! Katherine recently retired from a career in art therapy and clinical psychology and published her first book of poems, Still Life, last year. Artist Lois Eby contributed the cover art for Still Life and will talk about her artwork after the reading. Katherine's poems explore moments of beauty, tenderness, doubt, and devastation and become a celebration of the human capacity for joy amid life's complexities. Author Ellen Bass writes, "With rich sensory detail and a keen perception of the natural world, Katherine J. Williams explores absence and presence and affirms that even after great loss, life is Still Life. Through the roles of daughter, mother, wife, widow, grandmother, and contemplative, she explores how sorrow 'ties us to each other, wears our edges smooth, and over and over washes the world, leaving us rinsed and clean'".
This poetry reading is the part of Greensboro Free Library's summer adult program series, scheduled every Wednesday evening at 5:00 from through August 9 with a few programs like this one on another day of the week.
