Led by Helene McGlauflin
Poetry is not simply a genre in literature. Poems are not only words on a page, verses in songs, works of performance art, the text of children’s books. Poetry is a community made up of all those who love poetry, all those who listen to poetry, those who write poetry in secret and those who speak their poems publicly. The poetry community holds us all.
Helene McGlauflin is an author, poet and writer, and a yoga and mindfulness teacher. Helene has three collections of poetry, a book called “Calm and Alert” about teaching mindfulness skills to children, and has written numerous articles, book chapters, and two booklets. She is currently working on a novel called Topia, the story of a school community facing the threats inherent in modern existence, and how they cope with the present and imagine the future. Helene is a member of UUCB and lives in Brunswick with her husband, Bruce, and is so grateful to be a mother and grandmother.
