Barbara Crooker Visits
Barbara
Crooker brought her poetry to life April 7th at Women Writing for (a) Change. In a program called The Place These Words are Coming From, she read about hearts, hopes, wild geese, coffee and chocolate--fascinating poems about both the complex and the commonplace in life. A lyrical lightness characterized Barbara's reading, with phrases often expressed with her hands as well as her voice. The audience of more than fifty delighted in hearing the poetry and comments about how she writes. "The image is the heart of the poem," she stated. "We write what we are living."
The next afternoon, on April 8th, Barbara led an inspiring three-hour workshop for 19 eager writers. She offered writing prompts that used imagery as a way to spur writing. In the workshop, titled Postcards from the Heart, she used actual postcards as visual prompts. Some of the cards featured images of various works of art. Participants wrote imaginative pieces in poetry, essay, and dialogue.
Many commented on the good fortune they felt, having the opportunity to hear Barbara Crooker read, and expressed appreciation to the anonymous donor who made this author visit possible.

Poetry Girl To Benefit WWf(a)C,
Circle Tail And UC-CCM's Acting Program
"Poetry Girl is a poem-play which tenderly and wisely narrates the joys and sorrows of
growing up. The place may be "Pleasant Ridge" of the 1960s and 70s but it becomes everyplace / anyplace in the hands of the playwright-poet. I see it inviting today's girls
and their mothers into writing and conversations about friendships, secrets, loss, and love. A treasure to be sure!!!!" ~
Mary Pierce Brosmer, Founder of Women Writing for (a) Change
