“A Life Between the Lines: A Half-Century of my Poetic Journey” with Dianalee Velie
New London Inn, New London NH
The Center for the Arts Lake Sunapee Region will present Dianalee Velie, a Literary Arts Guild member who will present an evening of poetry 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 di Camerina, 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. Velie has published 6 books of poetry and a collection of short stories, has taught poetry, memoir, and short stories both in New England, New York and abroad, and has had poems and short stories published in hundreds of magazines and journals. In addition, she leads the John Hay Poetry Society, which has been meeting for close to 20 years, and has created a permanent poetry path in Newbury that honors New Hampshire Poet Laureates.
