En(compass) The Poetry Caravan Anthology

The poets who support and foster the work of the Poetry Caravan are doing literary missionary work by bringing poetry into the lives of the often alienated residents of assisted living centers, women's shelters, senior centers and similar institutions. The choice of "caravan" for a title suggests poetry that moves from place to place instead of passively sitting still, waiting to be recognized. Here, poetry comes to its listeners and is delivered personally-a kind of "Words on Wheels."Akella, Usha is the author of 'En(compass) The Poetry Caravan Anthology' with ISBN 9780938999201 and ISBN 0938999206.
