Lyrics of a Chrysalis: Poetry and Process with Tracy Hawkins

Local author Tracy Hawkins will host a poetry reading from her book Lyrics from a Chrysalis on the side lawn of the Patrick Beaver Memorial Library. Please bring a chair or a blanket to sit on. In the event of rain, the program will be moved into the library meeting room. 

Hawkins was determined to find and become her authentic self. Writing this book of poetry led her on a journey of healing and transformation. She found poetry to be a therapeutic process to mend her mind and heart, balance her energy towards wholeness, and embrace self-love. Lyrics from a Chrysalis refers to the transformational journey Hawkins experienced while writing this book as she unfolded her wings into a conscious state of awareness and newness.  
 
Hawkins was born and raised in Gary, Indiana and she moved to Hickory in 2007. She is a mother to six daughters and one granddaughter and loves to spend time in her garden where she feels the most connected to the earth
