Please Write Book by Lynne Kolze

$31.95

“Would you like to give a gift that is memorable, meaningful, and leaves a legacy for future generations? Through facts, personal memoir, and anecdotes from other letter enthusiasts, Lynne M. Kolze makes the case that handwritten letters are still a highly relevant and irreplaceable form of communication, sorely needed in a time of disconnection, epidemic loneliness, and stress.

Inside Please Write, you will find dozens of reasons to familiarize yourself with, or simply remind yourself of, the joys of letter writing—from the physical and emotional rewards it provides, to the historical value our authentic words can offer future generations.

Please Write is a call to action for those who value deeper and more lasting forms of communication.” - Lynne Kolze and Beaver’s Pond Press

8.75” x 5.75” x 1”

Lynne Kolze (she/her) grew up in suburban Chicago but now lives close to the Mississippi River in St, Paul. Before writing non-fiction, she earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the University of Wisconsin and a master’s degree in public affairs from Indiana University. Lynne’s guiding passions in life have been environmental protection and public service, beginning her career at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and later working for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Lynne wrote, Please Write, because she has always believed that handwritten letters are one of the most authentic, joyful, and remarkable gifts one person can give to another. She hopes to inspire a revival in this creative and loving art form, especially because technology, isolation and loneliness have created a hunger for meaningful connections more than ever before.

MCBA believes that access to the arts and art education should be available to all individuals. Our facilities are ADA accessible and we strive to make our programs enjoyable for all. We are happy to provide special accommodations upon request.

Thank you

MCBA's educational and artistic programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant and an Arts Education grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional support is provided by other private funders, MCBA members, and individuals like you.
