Northern Treasures
by M. Ann Margetson
Poet Laureate for Temiskaming District, Ann Margetson of Cobalt, presents this delightful selection of poems from her considerable collection of over 6,000 poems written, so far. Always a thinking person, the combinations of ideas and well-practiced and unaffected rhyme seem to happen as part of her speech pattern. With a quick wit, and infectious laughter, she is always most welcome at gatherings in the area, whether they be Council meetings, or noon-time poetry readings.
Shown here at the Drummond Cairn beside the Cobalt Public Library in connection with the Spring Pulse Poetry Festival commemoration of Dr. William Henry Drummond in 2008, she continues to compose, elicit and read poetry through workshops, readings through the area.
