Smith Creative Writing Series guest speaker comments on following the push-pull of art
The spring schedule for the Smith Creative Writers Reading Series at Penn State Behrend will feature poets, prose writers and students in the college’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program. The readings, which begin Jan. 27, are open to the public.
Paula J. Lambert of Columbus My name is Paula J. Lambert, and I live in Columbus, Ohio. In the months before the pandemic began, both my parents were ill, so I was on the road a lot and always under crisis. We were focused on Mom, but it was Dad who passed away. Soon after, COVID-19 tore its way through our world when my cousin’s life partner died in New York City. When my uncle passed away in Florida, we attended his funeral through a Facebook live feed. Our quarantine year was, for me, a chance to process grief and a chance to cherish each moment with my own life partner.
