"Read Around" Event

Poetry readings are as varied as clothing styles, but this next post is an event I have found that can fit almost everyone's needs. The readings are held the third Sunday of each month at the St. Helena Library. Gary Silva provides a casual, relaxed (yet organized) atmosphere allowing each poet to present their poem with its individual voice. I encourage those who enjoy a variety of poetry form and content to come to this reading!

On Sunday, September 20th, 3 p.m., at the St. Helena Public Library, we will be having the "regular" poetry "read around."Please bring a (about one page) poem of your own authorship or one written by another poet to read aloud to the group. We will read one poem each until we have gone around the circle once. Then if there is time, we will go around a second time, usually depending on how many people show up.The event is "free," but your admission is reading a poem to the group.
If you have any questions, you can contact the St. Helena Library at 963-5244.
