Shulamith Chernoff of Westville, associate professor of education emeritus at Southern Connecticut State University, has discovered a new career long past the time many other people have retired. She has become an award-winning poet. Click here to watch her read aloud a poem -- from her new published collection, The Stones Bear Witness (Hanover Press) -- about turning 80.

Shula Chernoff is one of New Haven's great treasures. Her time at Southern Connecticut State University was spent encouraging and teaching young teachers (yes, I am one of them, though I am no longer young!) with her infinite wisdom, patience and insight. It is completely lovely to hear her reading her poetry, this particular one is moving and vivid. I sent it along to my own 18-year-old poet who is studying creative writing at Oberlin... Shula is one of my longtime heroes.
