The fourth annual Plymouth Reads poetry reading takes place Sunday, April 26, at 11:30 a.m.
This program of the Fine Arts Board brings poets of national and regional stature to add their voices to Plymouth’s artistic exploration of life and the spirit. A nationally recognized poet reads each spring and fall, and a regional writer, sometimes a Plymouth member, each winter. Past Literary Witnesses include U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser, Mary Oliver, Lucille Clifton, Galway Kinnell, Linda Pastan and Robert Bly. Susan “Sam” King and Gregory Orr discussed “Can Poetry Save Your Life?” on April 8, as part of the Literary Witnesses 20th Anniversary celebration. Contact Hawona Sullivan Janzen for more information.
