Event: Sep 9, 2023, 3 to 5:30 PM
Address: 788 Hathaway Road, Goshen, VT
Join us on Saturday for another informal poetry reading on the porch of the Ruth Stone House! With special visiting guest poets, Paul Hlava Ceballos, and Bill Carty who will both be reading from their newest collections of poetry!
As always we begin with snacks/drinks, intimate discussions about poetry and community, and letterpress printing. Come help print broadsides, learn about printing, talk about poetry, and meet other poets from the community. We also encourage you to join us to read your own poem or two for the salon style roundtable on the porch. We share our poems, (we'll have a guitar on hand as well....) before we listen to our featured poets. Books will be there, as well as FREE BROADSIDES of poems for you to take home.
Hosted by Bianca Stone, Ben Pease & Ben Aleshire.
