Poems from Life with Juniper Village is a project developed in partnership between the Pennsylvania Center for the Book and Juniper Village Senior Living at Brookline. The goal is to share and celebrate the lives of Juniper residents with original, individualized poems presented by local poets. The website for the Senior Living community can be found here: https://junipercommunities.com/community/brookline-senior-living/ This 2022 site is the third year of the project, which is described here: https://crdpala.org/2019/03/20/poems-from-life-with-juniper-village-literature-links-communities/
The project illustrates the power of poetry as a form of narrative for honoring life experience and promoting well-being. It is also an illustration of a community-based project that utilizes narrative arts to celebrate community and seniors.
