Poetic Obituaries: [Helen I. Fahrbach] retired from the library

in January of 1985. She enjoyed writing poetry, book reviews, humor pieces and children's stories. Helen was an active member and office holder in the Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and was the recipient of many awards including the Jade Ring award in 1968 for her story "A Pet for the Princess." Her real love was poetry and this resulted in three soft-bound chapbooks: "No One Rides the Carousel," "A Thousand Journeys" and "In The Garden." Her poetry and stories were published in anthologies, journals, Wisconsin Poet's Calendar, magazines and newspapers, both locally and regionally. She also taught a Fall writing course at Tomahawk's Elderhostel for several years.
