Massachusetts Statewide Poetry Calendar

The public is invited to join the poets on Sunday, September 17, 2017, as we walk together to the sites of inspiration and share our poems. This year’s theme is memoir. Each poem was started en plein air at old frog pond farm, and the initiating impulse was from objects, plants or animals, or settings, located in the farm’s landscape.

A chapbook of the original poetry will be available at the event, and there will be a reception following.

Kathie Fiveash and Rebecca Hart Olander are reading together to launch the 2017-18 Gallery of Readers series, and to introduce Kathie’s new chapbook, Earthbound.

Please join us at Smith College in Seelye Hall 106 on Sunday, September 17 at 4 p.m. for reading, celebration & book signing.
