October Program a Hit!

We were so lucky to have Carolyn Caines, local poet and author, as our speaker at the October program meeting! She talked a little about her childhood in Longview during the 1950's, and read some poems from her book called In the Noiseless Night. She answered questions about the ways to read and enjoy poetry, and told us about her soon to be released novel based on the life of her grandparents, Passage to Love: an Ellis Island Story. The grandparents were part of the community of immigrant Finns who made their homes here in Southwest Washington.
