I have participated in poetry readings in Massachusetts (Athol, Gardner, Greenfield, Northfield, Orange, Petersham, and Paxton) and Pennsylvania (Lancaster).  Our Women of Words (WOW) group in Athol collaborated with the Greater Gardner Artists Association for a number of years.  We shared poems that we wrote to selections of their artwork.  Read more about us from The Gardner News.
