a poetry reading at phoebe berks in wernersville in early april.

the the labors of our fingertips: poems from manufacturing history in berks county joined phoebe berks in wernersville on april 5. a poetry reading inside the chapel involved several residents who are also poets and avid lovers of poetry.

and thank you to diana berstler for assisting with photography of the poetry reading.





gloria tatro mentioned that she loves poetry and was looking forward to the poetry reading, after she heard about it. 

when people ask her why she likes poetry, she says, "it tells everything. in poetry, everything is said in just a few lines."

she read some of the pages of volume one of the poems from this project before the reading began.




tatro recently relocated from florida to phoebe berks and said that long ago, she was a buyer in lingerie when she lived in new york city many years ago, so she had her own old ties to manufacturing outside of pennsylvania.



kathy savadelis, on the left, brought some of her own poems in different styles and shared them before and after the reading. she is very successful with rhyme, which isn't an easy accomplishment !



evelyn aurand, on the left, is a writer, poet, and big supporter of this project, so it was great to have her in the audience with the others who visited and noted how much they enjoyed the reading, after it ended.
