  Join Pump Up the Volume, the OCWW member book club for an all-remote discussion of WHERE BLUE IS BLUE.  

  How does a poet create works delicately phrased and yet so stark in their reality that each one takes the reader's breath away?

  That is the trademark of Jane Schulman's multilayered, gentle and searing Where Blue is Blue, a meditation on humanity's strengths, frailties, and question marks. A conversation with this thoughtful, talented writer and truly wonderful human being is not one you want to miss!
