“She’d seem strong- willed somehow. Woman like her imagined the forest paths.“
Betty, a member of United Church Homes’ Harmar Place Community in Marietta, Ohio, wrote those lines during a recent poem RENOVATION workshop. She conjured up a vibrant character by rearranging words from the book The Taiga Syndrome by Cristina Rivera Garza. Can’t you just imagine Betty’s strong-willed woman striding confidently into the woods?
