SUMMARY:Glendal Wallace: The Words We Wear
DESCRIPTION:This reading will be held in-person at St. Louis County Library – Clark Family Branch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the St. Louis County Library – Clark Family Branch for an evening of inspiration with local author and poet Glendal Wallace\, for the launch of her book The Words We Wear. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE WORDS WE WEAR \n\n\n\nWallace hits all the high notes well and avoids the dangers\, and that is high praise. “Words Take Their Own Journey” gives a clear vision of how the musicality and drive of oral tradition can land\, delicately and with gentle authority. The poem speaks out to a wide audience but feels personal. “Weep America II” is such a fine poem\, exploring in one compressed space the pain\, self-deceit\, ignorance that we all suffer from being “stuck” where we are now. It’s the poem all of us need desperately\, right now. \n\n\n\n– Rebecca Ellis\, Distinguished Poet and Master Naturalist\, University of Illinois \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGLENDAL WALLACE is the author of three poetry collections\, Jewels of Fillmore\, Unconnected Thoughts\, and  The Words We Wear. An educator for over thirty years\, she has published essays\, short stories and in anthologies that inspire\, encourage and educate writers at all levels. She lives with her family in St. Louis where she continues to nurture her creative spirit from enjoying blissful walks and scenic cruise vacations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriends of Glendal Wallace
