On Jan. 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the New London Inn join Literary Arts Guild’s member Dianalee Velie for the evening as she reads excerpts from her six books of poetry written at different periods of her life. The most recent book will take you on a poetic journey through Italy with poems about her experiences teaching poetry in Cortona, Cannero Riviera on Lago Maggiore, and in Santa Croce diCamerina, Sicily while visiting her cousins. She hopes you’ll fall in love with the sights and sounds of these poems and develop a yearning to read more poetry and also to write poems about your own life experiences whether near or far.
