Diana is a Williamsport native who’s lived there most of her life, except for intermittent forays like a year in the Bavarian Alps getting to know her mother’s side of the family and two years near Golden Gate Park in The Avenues district of San Francisco. Those were soul searching years, although the search is never ending! She’s thoroughly enjoyed way more formal education than was necessary for the life she’s creating, including a bachelor’s degree in English and German from Lycoming College, a master’s degree in English Literature from Bucknell University and three years teaching composition and literature in the English department of The Ohio State University while in the PhD program there. |

Marguerite continues to follow the threads of curiosity and capture her experience through expression. She is the author of Reclamation, a journey exploring independence, healing, loss, and love. Her new book, A Silent Voice turns inward toward the mystical and mysterious with echoes of the journey of Reclamation. Her work invites readers to slow down, listen, & discover within what is waiting to be heard. |

The groundhog has or has not seen his shadow, either way at least 6 more weeks of poetry.
Be the poet! Bring a poem you wrote, a poem you like, a poem you want to interpret with your voice, translate a poem from another language – even Klingon – read it in both languages. Let your inner poet out. Bring stuff to sell and shop (feed the RP kitty) at the White Elephant Table.
7:30 to 9 PM
