The Learning in Retirement Association (L.I.R.A.) of the University of Massachusetts Lowell is a lifelong learning organization. Since 1992, L.I.R.A. has sponsored a series of poetry workshops. In 1997, the workshop members wrote poems in response to their experiences at the West Campus of the University. The objective was to create a "poetry map" of the West Campus as a cultural link to Lowell's new Flowering City Project. Workshop members used poetry as a tool for exploring the nature of their immediate environment. The editors of the Bridge Review are grateful to the L.I.R.A. authors and Dr. Mark Levine of the University of Massachusetts Lowell Office of Community Service for their contributions, support, and encouragement.
