Join us for our Poetry Book Group meeting! This month’s book is Night Owl by Aimee Nezhukumatathil . You do not have to be a poet or poetry scholar to join! Poems are meant to be accessible to all, and possess the ability to conjure unique emotions within each reader. All you need to bring is an open heart and an open mind! “In her latest poetry collection, Aimee Nezhukumatathil plumbs the depths of nighttime, crafting a series of nocturnes that explore the magic, sensuality, and life that emerge as the rest of the world goes to bed. Night Owl navigates questions and concerns for the environment that envelops us. It meditates on our connections to family and beloveds, and explores our position within the broader beauty of the planet. Just as the night transforms how we see things, love in its many forms shifts our understanding of togetherness and the natural world. And these poems are deeply suffused with love—each an expression of Nezhukumatathil’s captivating responses to the animals, plants, and people who have her heart and enliven her world. ”---Publisher Registration required Email dgage@wellesleyma.gov with questions
