Other Voices, Other Lives: Poetry by Barbara Bald, April 11th, 6:30 PM. Free! Light Refreshments Served
|
Lakes Region poet Barbara Bald will introduce her recently published book, Other Voices/Other Lives at a reading hosted by the Conway Public Library.
Writing since the age of twelve, Barbara Bald has always been enamored by the music of words and awed by how they combine to create images in the mind and stir the heart. For ten summers, she attended the Frost Place Poetry Festival in Franconia, NH, and worked at the museum for several summers.
Other Voices/Other Lives
has gathered high praise from New England's poetry luminaries.
Robert Demaree, author of Fathers and Sons, Mileposts and After Labor Day, says:
"In Other Voices/Other Lives, Bald takes us along in her volunteer service with senior adults, bringing her distinctive poetic voice to the many stories she has learned from the seniors she has come to know. These fine poems are part of her service to them as well as to the reading public."

The role of the public library has evolved over the years. This blog post from the
Brookings Institution talks about how libraries have become what is known as "third places." While the story makes note of large, urban, library systems, the same things are happening in rural libraries such as Conway.
