Solano poets to share words of hope, encouragement at virtual ‘How Poetry Heals’ event
She’s also emceed the Authors Luncheon benefitting the Solano County Library Foundation.
Bruce will be joined by four other area poets Saturday for “How Poetry Heals,” a virtual event.
Three years ago the Library Foundation hosted “Why Poetry Matters,” for which Bruce served as emcee at the request of Frances McCullough, a past president of the foundation and chairwoman for the program.
Bruce enthusiastically accepted the job.
“When Poetry Heals” is geared to reflect its title with an emphasis on the stress of the past year from Covid-19, a presidential election, loss and more.
‘How Poetry Heals’ topic of virtual event with poet laureates
Poet Suzanne Bruce is the emcee of the virtual event.
Joining her is Johanna Ely, former Benicia poet laureate; Mary Susan Gast, current Benicia poet laureate; Genea Brice, former Vallejo poet laureate; and Jeremy Snyder, current Vallejo poet laureate.
Bruce and fellow poets will reflect on how poetry has helped through stressful times and how it can help in moving forward.
Funds raised by this program will go to support Solano County Library literacy programs that cannot be funded by taxpayer dollars.
Each ticket purchase will include three tickets for a prize drawing.
