Favorite Poem Community Poetry Reading Saturday, April 28, 2:00 at SVA Fox Hill
Details:
YOU are invited to read or recite one of your favorite poems and tell why it is personally meaningful. The only rule is that poems are NOT poems that you, your friends or relatives have written, but ones you have read, perhaps many times, and to which you feel a personal attachment. Everyone is welcome to share a poem, or just come and enjoy hearing your friends and neighbors read their favorite poems.

This event is FREE and everyone is welcome!
Why poetry? Maybe this:
"We turn to poetry to interpret life, to console us, to sustain us." Matthew Arnold

"By making us stop for a moment, poetry gives us an opportunity to think about ourselves as human beings on this planet and what we mean to each other." Rita Dove
"Poetry debunks the illusion we are separate." Robert Haas
