Book Club February 2025 with Nancy Noelke
The focus for Book Club 2025 is poetry: powerful words packed in an accessible format! Each month we discuss a different book or author; a member of the group gets to select the book and lead discussion. We’re a casual group, so there’s no need to worry about the difference between syntax and simile … just gathering together for good company and conversation.
For February, we have a special guest – local author, Nancy Noelke. She will be reading from her book and will have copies available to purchase for $15. You don’t have to read ahead for this event!
What We Keep
The new book of poems by Nancy Noelke
In this moving memoir in poetry, Nancy Noelke honors each stage of life with a lyric, tender, and independent spirit. In poems that chart a 1960s childhood, marriage, motherhood, and divorce, then map the terrain of caretaking aging parents, grieving, and the acceptance and creativity found in aging, Noelke voices a fierce vitality born from loving herself and her world exactly as they are.
—Rebecca Jamieson, author of The Body of All Things
RSVP here for February 16, 2:00 – 3:00 PM ⬇️
We’ll have beverages and maybe a snack, light conversation, some time to capture our thoughts in a journal; we may sit or walk outside when the weather is right.
We have two friendly dogs who can be kept in a separate area from guests by request.
