Poetry Month Continues At Lakewood Public Library
If grammar holds ideas captive with its rules and conventions, poetry sets them free. Once free, they tend to make all sorts of unusual connections with one another. In honor of National Poetry Month, Lakewood Public Library welcomes two authors whose books have captured our imaginations with ingenious connections and seemingly unrelated interrelationships.
On Tuesday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m., Betty Rozakis will talk about "Coffee with the Subconscious." And on Thursday, April 11, Michelle Disler will join us for a discussion about her book "[Bond, James]: alphabet, anatomy, [auto] biography." Both events, "A Blueprint for Poets" with Betty Rozakis and "Dissecting the Spy" with Michelle Disler, will take place in the Main Library Auditorium.
As a trained European depth graphologist, Betty Rozakis believes handwriting reveals unconscious patterns enabling her to look deeply into a person’s psyche. As a poet, she has taken graphology and other psychological theories to develop the complex characters in her poetic fiction, "Coffee with the Subconscious." The result is a fascinating exploration of ideas that just might lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the people in our lives.
And where would a celebration of National Poetry Month be without…James Bond? Michelle Disler, a professor at Ohio Wesleyan University, has taken a fresh approach to Ian Fleming’s international man of mystery with poetry and prose in "[Bond, James]: alphabet, anatomy, [auto] biography." Her concentrated dissection of 007 is a complete surprise, and a whole lot of fun.
Please join us on Tuesday April 9 at 7:00 p.m. for a visit with Betty Rozakis and "Coffee with the Subconscious," and again on Thursday, April 11 at 7:00 p.m. with Michelle Disler, author of "[Bond, James]: alphabet, anatomy, [auto] biography." Books will be available for sale and signing at both events.
