Carolyn Raphael

Carolyn Raphael is the poetry coordinator for the village of Great Neck Plaza

in her hometown, Great Neck, New York, where she supervises an

annual poetry contest. She also places poems on local bulletin

boards, much as “Poetry in Motion” places poems on the subway.

She is the proud grandmother of four boys and one girl.

After retiring from teaching college English, she began to publish

poetry that mirrored her interests in music, art, aging, and family.

Her fourth book of poetry, Grandma Poems—Not Too Sweet, explores

the pleasures and problems of being a grandmother in today’s world.

Her fifth poetry book, Travelers on My Route, is an invitation to sample

and savor life's banquet. Join the author on a journey to new and familiar

places with no packing, no schedules, and plenty of time to ponder.
