Poems of the Vater Sisters Jacqueline Vater Warner

Poems of the Vater Sisters is a collection of poetry written by three sisters. When they were growing up, there were no televisions, electronic games, or computers. For entertainment, they wrote poems. Pauline, the middle sister, had a fifth grade teacher who recognized her talent, and printed a booklet of her poems. Those poems are identified in this volume by the age at which they were written. Pauline won the Golden Poet of the Year award for eight years. Elizabeth, the oldest sister, died at age 87 and wrote the poem that appeared on her funeral bulletin. The youngest sister, Jacqueline, has published several books since retiring after teaching school for 27 years. One of her short stories won first prize in a contest sponsored by a local newspaper, and she also won the Golden Poet of the Year award.
