Please join us on Saturday March 15th at 1 PM at the Makawao Library for a Poetry Reading and Book Signing by Lena Marocco Paulauskas, the author of Chasing Time: A Journey Through Grief.

About the poet: Lena Paulauskas is a poet, playwright, performer, and teacher. Her work has been performed throughout the U.S. including NYC and Hawaii. She is a graduate of the University of Evansville and has served as a public-school theater educator in Texas for more than twenty years, directing thousands of students in plays and musicals. She shares her passion for writing and theatre with the next generation by leading workshops for students and teachers. Lena has lived in California, Hawaii, Indiana, and England, but currently resides in Texas. She believes that growing up in Maui, Hawaii, has given her a unique perspective on culture, arts, and performance. 

Lena has the uncanny ability to find common ground with almost anyone she meets. She seems to know people wherever she goes, and if she meets a stranger, they aren’t a stranger for long!

After her father died, Lena Marocco Paulauskas found healing in sharing her story with others walking through loss. Now in a debut collection of poetry, Chasing Time candidly explores the grief journey through the eyes of a woman who understands the pain, the sorrow, and the healing that accompanies loss.
