Community Poetry and Other Inspirations

Beth Jacobs is a poet and non-fiction writer who facilitates poetry groups with children, grandparents raising grandchildren, new parents, and staff at Family Focus of Evanston, Illinois. She is the author of Long Shadows of Practice: Poems, Writing for Emotional Balance, Paper Sky, The Original Buddhist Psychology, and A Buddhist Journal. She is a grateful member of NAPT since 1996.

Beth Jacobs will read poems she has written and poems from groups she has facilitated at Family Focus of Evanston IL.
