Anthology Connects Poets

ORLANDO - -Poetry Ensemble of Orlando announces release of “Connections” a poetry anthology. Members are award-winning poets Alice R. Friedman, Russ Golata, Leslie Halpern, Estelle Lipp and Robert Osborne. The Ensemble will donate any profit from book sales to Central Florida literary and arts organizations.

The idea to write about "connections" began with Ensemble member Robert Osborne, who said he found poetry a great way to connect with other people. “Connections” includes original poems about the ways in which people connect with others and with the world around them. Some were presented in a series of performances during the Spring of 2008.

The Ensemble will appear at the Florida Writers Association Annual Meeting in November 2008. Other performances are scheduled at Austin’s Coffee House, Daily Grind, Chambrel Retirement Center, Maitland Senior Center, Infusion Tea and Jeanine Taylor Folk Gallery and at the Orange County-Orlando Public Library. For further information and a firm schedule of appearances please visit:
