April 21, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “’Upward Spiral’ – Four Woman Poets of Silver City.”
In honor of Poetry Month our program will feature “Upward Spiral" a book of poems from four women poets: Shelly Barnett, Leonore Hildebrandt, Pamela Warren Williams, and Lynne Zotalis. The poems in the anthology “Upward Spiral” evoke transformation and the power of the natural world.
“A love of poetry brought us together initially. Kindred spirits and abiding respect for each
other’s voices have now solidified our bond and commitment to each other with the completion
of this excellent book. We are so grateful for the response, the energy Upward Spiral has
generated. Timing is everything and it appears our poems are having an extremely positive
influence extending outward, touching our readers in profound ways,” said Lynne Zotalis, speaking for herself and the other poets of “Upward Spiral.”
