Tune in tonight
If you’re not busy tonight, consider listening to WCWP.org (88.1 FM in Suffolk) at 8pm. Rock N Soul Gospel will be playing excerpts from my spoken-word CD, Music of the Forest.
Best wishes for a Healthy and Hopeful New Year, Mary

Virtual Poetry Reading
Thank you to everyone who joined us for an inspirational evening of poetry and music hosted by The Walt Whitman Birthplace Association!
In these trying times, our spirits are in need of being lifted – and so they were with the power of poetry and music.
Kudos and a depth of gratitude in particular to WWBA’s host Caitlyn Shea, poet/author, Linda Trott Dickman, singer/songwriter Paul Ammendola of Red Words, and guitarist/husband Mark Phillips for enhancing the event with their gift of words, voice, and music.
Most of the poems on the video are from my new spoken-word CD, Music of the Forest.
For those who were unable to attend, here is a video of the event:
Stay safe,
stay strong,
and be encouraged,
Mary

Times are tough and poetry might be the last thing you’re thinking about right now…but it shouldn’t be.
