Mary Vallas Posner, Ph.D., author of "Basil, Mountain Laurel and Jazz,
Book of Poetry" will give a reading of her new book at Lyme Art
Association on Sunday, March 14 from 2 – 4pm. <br>
“Poetry, for me, both
personally, and as an educator and poet, is always the experiences of a life
and an awareness of the impact they have on it. This is followed by the
enrichment and puzzle that knowledge brings while one is striving to enlarge
upon it,” says Posner.<br>
Posner has given numerous
readings in book shops, senior citizens centers, museums, individual homes, and
work places. She finds that readings in art galleries “heighten sensitivity as
listeners are surrounded by the visual arts and live music.” <br>
The Niantic resident is the
author of four chapbooks, numerous published poems, and “Basil, Mountain Laurel
and Jazz, Book of Poetry,” published in November 2009 by Little Red Tree
Publishing.<br>
The poetry reading will take
place from 2 – 3pm. A book signing and reception will follow from 3 – 4pm in
the LAA’s Goodman Gallery. <br>
