Hear the story of how the book was created and all the people the poems honor. Joanne will read selected poems.

Believing the Body, published by Gribble Press in Spokane, contains 24 poems. Some feature patients Joanne has cared for and their caregivers. Others address man’s place in the universe. The book was edited and designed by artist-poet Iris Gribble-Neal.

There is plenty of parking at Bayview, a deli where food is available and a coffee shop in the foyer. Or you can bring a brown bag. Celebration cake will be provided! Enjoy the beautiful view and poetry that speaks to the mind and the heart.

Please join Joanne on this final day of National Poetry Month 2014 to honor the gift of poetry.
