POETRY AT THE CALDWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY
WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2013 6:30 P.M.
“In vivid images and with an artist’s eye, Laura Freedgood’s
poems fulfill the promise of her chap-book’s title,
What I Would Paint if I Could, by painting in words....In these beautifully crafted poems, her voice is unsparing and empathic as she confronts beauty and loss.”
 
Set in Vieques, Puerto Rico, Lee Khanna’s “dazzling first collection of poetry” Before The Rainbow,“brings new texture to the island’s complex reality.” “Khanna juxtaposes the beauty of its sea, sand, skies, flora and fauna against what she calls its "tortured history."
