SUMMARY:Happy Hour: Four Award-Winning Poets Share Their Love of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the ESU New York City Branch \nPoetry tugs at our emotions and affects each of us differently. Listening to versus reading poetry can create different images and thoughts even for the same poem. Join this special ESU Happy Hour when we bring four award-winning poets together to share their love of poetry—Karen Karpowich\, Susana Case\, Meredith Trede\, and Peter Nickowitz. Our poets will be reading their own poems in a round-robin program covering topics such as love\, aging\, film\, travel\, art\, family\, food\, and elegy. These poems will inspire us\, give us emotional strength and perspectives on our lives. This is a Happy Hour you will want to share with the whole family. Invite your friends to this extraordinary ESU Happy Hour program. \nBe sure to read the bios on the four poets including our own ESU Executive Director\, Karen Karpowich. This ESU Happy Hour is sponsored by the ESU New York City Branch. ESU Happy Hour programs are online\, free\, and open to all members and the public.
