Priscilla Bernard Wieden: Solitary Light
The Literary Arts Bookstore and Cafe is excited to welcome Literary Arts board member Priscilla Bernard Wieden for a special reading from her poetry collection, Solitary Light.
About the book:
Poetry is a conduit for communicating our shared experiences and broadening our understanding of ourselves and each other. In her debut book of poetry, Solitary Light, Priscilla Bernard Wieden shares her journey when the unspeakable happens, and then offers every grieving widow a glimmer of light. These poems are a beacon to help you find your way out of the despair of grief, to help you look deep inside your own spirit, and emerge with a heart full of loving memories as you find the beauty in joyful living that still awaits you.
