En (Compass) by ISBN: 0938999206Publication Date: 2005-05-01The poets who support and foster the work of the Poetry Caravan are doing literary missionary work by bringing poetry into the lives of the often alienated residents of assisted living centers, women's shelters, senior centers and similar institutions. The choice of "caravan" for a title suggests poetry that moves from place to place instead of passively sitting still, waiting to be recognized. While the styles of the poems are diverse, from formal to lyric, they share in common clarity, accessibility, and vigor. (Book jacket)
Primary Lessons by Call Number: Local Authors B WhiteISBN: 9781933880389Publication Date: 2013-09-03Ripped from middle-class life in Philadelphia, and transplanted to a single-parent household in the segregated south, Sarah, a precocious black child struggles to be the master of her fate.
