JoEllen Moldoff will moderate a new class where participants will read and discuss poetry that addresses the broad theme of relationships – relationships with family, friends, community, place, nature – exploring issues of love and loss, life transitions, connections and reflections.

“This class welcomes poets and lovers of poetry, as well as those who are new to poetry,” Moldoff said. “We will read poems that are accessible and varied. Issues of craft will be considered. Participants who wish to write poems will be encouraged to use the material from class for inspiration.”

The class will meet for eight sessions, Tuesdays from 1-3 p.m. at the Orcas Library, on the following dates: October 6,13; November 3, 10, 17; December 1, 8, 15. The fee is $10 to cover copying and registration. There is no text. To register, call 376-4985.
