Smiles were aplenty at ‘Share the Love’ poetry event Citizen report
lyn Gambardella read “Volunteer Firefighter,” which she wrote about her uncle, Jason Considine.
Several weeks back, North Haven Memorial Library staff and the town’s Poet Laureate Gabriella Brand asked residents: Do you know someone who makes life better in North Haven? Locals were asked to write a short poem about this person and why they are appreciated. Then, on Saturday, Feb. 25, the poems would be shared with their subjects. This “Share the Love” event, held at the library, was a success, as more than 15 invaluable members of the community were acknowledged in poems.
Also, former Southern Connecticut State University librarian Shirley Cavanaugh read a poem in honor of Brittany Pearson, reference librarian at the North Haven library. Other poems were written by Gina Falcigno, in honor of local philanthropist Martha Culver; and Joanna Teodosio, who read a poem entitled “Champion of the Pets,” highlighting the work of animal activist Jane Ciarlione.
Of course, Brand had to participate in the “Share the Brand pointed out that secLove” project, as well. ond-graders from North The Poet Laureate read a Haven schools penned “a work entitled “First Class variety of original poems in Special Delivery” in honor of honor of police officers, Lisa Giglio, a member of the Local firefighter Jason Considine beams as his niece Jocelyn Gambardella reads her builders and a school princi- U.S Postal Service.
