Local author and Virginia Poet Laureate Emerita Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, Ph.D., right, recently donated a copy of “The Centennial Anthology of The Poetry Society of Virginia” to the Middlesex County Public Library system’s Deltaville branch. Kreiter-Foronda was a co-author of the anthology, together with Sofia Starne and Editor Edward Lull of Williamsburg. Tom Samuel, Deltaville branch manager, accepted the title.

In the book, the society highlights the beauty, talent and creativity of its poets. The book includes brief bios of each contemporary poet.

This title will be added to the Local Authors project collection at the library. High Tide Publications Inc. of Deltaville published the volume. It is available in paperback and hardback on Amazon.com.
