 This the next best thing to a book. I wrote and read two of my poems. We as members of the Free Verse Poetry Group are proud of our latest CD. 

 

 

The Free Verse Group of Mountain Home announces the release of their second audio compilation of original poetry. 'DRIFTWOOD'. The production features 32 original poems

by 16 area poets. The groups first CD 'EXPRESSIONS'(2008) sold-out, and is in its 2nd printing.

 

May, the group awarded a scholarship to a graduating Senior [Colleen Queary - MHHS -'13], using profits from 'EXPRESSIONS' sales. Future profits from sale of both CD's are designated to
perpetuate the annual scholarship. Providing individualized instrumental accompaniment for each track, 'DRIFTWOOD' producer Ron Miller also edited, and contributed artistically to the
project. Windsong Press's Alathea Daniels provided the cover design, and insert - which includes poet's biographies.
    'DRIFTWOOD' subject matter, as eclectic as the poem's writers, ranges from - days with grandchildren, the pain of patriotism, cultural musings, senility, and - as might be expected . . . an overtone of admiration for nature. To learn more, or to purchase [@ $10.00 apiece]
