The Poetry Ministry of a Smithfield, RI, Senior Citizen

"During the bustle of the holidays, with mounting pressure to create the perfect Christmas experience, Irene Salvatore shared her Christmas poem with the members of Cortland Place assisted living and rehabilitation center as a reminder of the season’s meaning.

"The 83-year old mother of three wrote 'The Nativity' last Christmas season when she saw how busy everyone was with shopping and cooking.

"'They forgot whose birthday it really is,' Salvatore said."

A recent article in The Valley Breeze (Smithfield, RI) profiled Irene Salvatore and the blessing of (my comment) her poetry ministry.
