Just over a month ago, twenty-two Northfield poets, along with dozens of other neighbors, gathered at the Grand Event Center to share poems. Now, these poems, along with the eloquent opening remarks by Lindsey Ness, co-owner of the Grand, have been gathered together in a chapbook. I feel priveleged to be part of a community that stands up for all people, and I feel honored to have one of my own poems included in this historic collection.

If you would like a chance to read these words for yourself, copies are available through Content Bookstore. Profits go to our valient Community Action Center which serves all of our neighbors, especially those with acute needs.

With hope of better days ahead,

LESLIE
