I met the sweetest lady named Barbara Grandis over the weekend. She has been an artist her entire life moving here from NJ about 4 years ago to be closer to her kids. Over the past few years she discovered that she has a love for poetry and decided to combine her love of art with her new found love of poetry. From that came her new book entitled, Endless Sea: Poems and Drawings. She draws from her life and new experiences from her life here in Charlottesville.

Here is Barbara telling me about the book and reading a few poems from the book.
