Poet and teacher Chris Martin will speak on how new research shows that the autistic brain is hardwired for metaphor and imagery, meaning children and adults with autism may be natural poets.  He will lead the audience in some basic writing exercises that can help them use poetry in every part of their lives.  Sponsored by the Edina Reads Committe.  The program will be in the Fireside Room of the Edina Senior Cente below the Edina Library.
