Smithies embrace change: instead of discussing a book on April 16, the Book Club talked about poems we brought to share for National Poetry Month. We had Shakespeare, Khalil Gibran, e.e. cummings and seven others, a varied assortment that led to interesting conversations about language, ideas, hope, gratitude, love, child-rearing—just as poetry should. And often the poems caused us to hearken back to our days at Smith: the ‘60s fascination with Gibran, poetry classes, poets visiting Smith. It was definitely a worthwhile change.
