The CWA Poet's Corner
The Poetry of Ruth Baird Shaw

As we approach Mother's Day, we honor CWA's mothers with a collection of poems by the mother of our own Janice Crouse. Ruth Baird Shaw is the mother of seven children who, at age 85, continues her ministry of speaking at churches, retreats and community or civic groups. Her poems and humor are especially popular and their insightful messages are meaningful to audiences large and small.
