Poetry Makes Art Out of Life
Using language the poet transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary and the extraordinary into the ordinary. The poet elevates our human experience, explores our human nature, celebrates our joys and sorrows and chronicles our moments of perception. Louise Stinespring invites all Forum participants to bring a poem to this presentation. As time permits, one may read one's poem or Louise will read it aloud. Let's find the joy in art!
