About the Book

This session will be a bit different as we listen to the author read her two books. One liner on Two Lines and Bella the Queen Bell. These are both short and sweet, they are created with wit, live lessons, perspective and joy. After listening to Rita Wolfson read, we will have a group discussion about the lesson, meaning and interpretation. The book will be able to be purchased the night of the event. This can be purchased via venmo or cash. The books will be $15.

About the Author

Rita Nathan Wolfson is a 96-year-old author, poet and artist. For more than twenty

years she created artwork and jewelry utilizing recycled paper, the profits of which were

donated to charitable causes. Rita self-published a book that combined her artwork and

creative writing: One Liner on Two Lines and most recently, during the pandemic, she

has been sharing her poetry on YouTube as the Positive Poet.

Rita began her creative journey later in life, after raising her family. She earned her

undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts, Boston at the age of 65,

where she discovered her passion for learning. Upon graduation she became a

founding member of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute - taking countless classes and

leading poetry seminars. She is tireless in her interests and has recently expanded her

writing into the short story genre.
