Poetry. Hermie is a delightful poet; Many Names published her first book of poems, TOO YOUNG TO BE WISE in 1998, when she was only 80 years old. Her joy in life, her cheery but not sappy style of writing, is crisp and wise, despite the title of her first book. She has met with grief and family loss, both a long and a short time ago. But mostly she can be imagined at her typewriter, a wicked-sweet little grin upon her face. When she reads in public, we are reminded of a young spelling bee contestant--we hold our breath for her simple response to a perplexing and complex word.
