Join us at Mountain Lakes House to discuss "Winter Hours: Prose, Prose Poems, and Poems" by Mary Oliver. Led by Diana Newby, FOPOS board member and Associate Director of Writing at Princeton University, each meeting includes a discussion of the book and an accompanying activity. Registration is requested via Eventbrite.

About the book
In this collection, the beloved poet reflects on the natural world, the changing seasons, solitude, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. Through lyrical essays and poetry, Oliver invites us to slow down, pay closer attention to the world around us, and find meaning in the small wonders of nature.

Together, we'll explore Oliver's reflections on the relationship between people and the natural world, and consider how the stillness of winter can offer opportunities for observation, creativity, and renewal.
