Please join us for our next COP virtual meeting with our guest,
Patricia McKernon Runkle
Wednesday March 26th 7:00pm
Patricia McKernon Runkle values the quiet work of listening. She has worked as a writer and editor, published poems, music, and an award-winning memoir, Grief’s Compass: Walking the Wilderness with Emily Dickinson. Her recent poetry collection, To the You Who Used to Be: Poems on Dementia and Wholeness, explores her mother’s struggle with memory loss.
Patricia will read from her recent poetry collection, tenderly exploring her mother's experience with dementia and witnessing a hidden wholeness amid memory loss. For even when her mother's memory had seemed to vanish, she had moments of lucidity when she was unmistakably herself.
After the reading, there will be time for discussion and sharing.
