Solstice

Ann Levison was an artist, avid naturalist, gardener — and most of all a writer and journalist — all her life. A native of Massachusetts, she and her husband settled in the town of Harvard, where she was editor of the Harvard Post, a high-quality independent weekly newspaper, for more than two decades. Upon her retirement in 2001, she began writing poetry instead of exposition, a change she found as gratifying as it was unexpected. Ann died in April, 2008, shortly after gathering together her favorite poems into this collection.
