Presenter: J. Ruth Gendler, author 
When: February 19, 2016 (Friday)
Time: 12:30 - 2 p.m.

The human imagination can be considered an essential natural resource – not rare but precious – and it needs our attention to flourish. In this talk, author and artist Gendler celebrates the immensity, wisdom and beauty of the imagination. As a poet-in-the-schools and private writing teacher for children and adults for over 30 years, Gendler has gathered an extraordinary collection of children’s art and writing. This afternoon we will see and hear selections that celebrate the directness, beauty and profundity of the young imagination. Inspired by their work, we will talk about ways to nourish the creativity in all of us.

J. Ruth Gendler is the author of three books, the best-selling The Book of Qualities, the award-winning Notes On the Need for Beauty, and the anthology, Changing Light.  All three books include Ms. Gendler’s art work. She is also a nationally exhibited artist and a long time teacher of writing and art.
