Join us for a celebration of Mother’s Day poetry! Bring a favorite poem to share with the group. Screen share will be available, or let Tara know which poem it is and she’ll share for you. If time allows, bring your own poem written for or about your mom to share too! Hosted by ESWA President and poet, Tara A. Elliott. Need some ideas? Visit: https://poets.org/poems-mothers-day
