Nancy K. Crevier will present a reading and book signing of her second book of poetry, Pieces of the World and other poems, at 2 pm Thursday, September 21, at Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street.

Registration for this event is also requested, and available by calling 203-426-4533 or visiting chboothlibrary.org.

Pieces of the World captures in verse what is seen, heard, and felt in the inner and outer world, and provides a place for readers to insert themselves in an easy manner. These are poems that invite wonder; that invite wondering with words and images that, piece by piece, pull together a sense of being in this lifetime.

Crevier published The Peach Quartet and Other Poems in 2022.
