Emerging Artist Award: Literature

“I enjoyed “Foundation On Parade.”  I bought Great Courses on writing,  paid for Senior College, subscribed to magazines, attended poetry festivals, donated to MPBN, bought a new computer. I  published a book of my poems, “Boulders, Birch and Wood Smoke – A Maine Melody.” It’s selling! I plan to attend workshops, might even skip out on part of a Maine winter to do so. I’m in two writing groups, a storytelling group, and I’m working on another book.  It’s been a “productive and  gratifying” year, a life changing year. The Emerging Artist Award enabled me to do things I couldn’t afford. Your willingness to invest in a late bloomer has given me a new perspective on life. I am truly grateful for the for the  generosity and confidence of the Saint Botolph Club Foundation.”
