Come for a lively reading of their “wry and wonderful” with Carol Potter and Sue Burton, including a Q&A session. Both poets live in Vermont, but their poetry takes you places you’d never dreamed of—and that you can’t stop thinking about! This reading is for all ages, but most appropriate for adults.
Poets Didi Jackson and Kris Gruen will pay tribute to Mary Oliver, the wonderful and much-loved American poet who passed away in January. Didi Jackson will begin by reading Oliver poems that inspired her own, which she will also read. Kris Gruen will provide accompaniment with acoustic guitar and transition into thematically connected songs of his own. Kris will also weave his own stories and inspirations on Oliver in between, for a wonderful celebration on Earth Day. Refreshments provided.
A reading & fundraiser with Nico Amador, Cynthia Dewi Oka & Natalie Scenters-Zapico Poets will read original work that touches on issues relating to border culture, migration, and social justice; a representative from Migrant Justice, a non-profit organization for economic justice and human rights in Burlington, Vermont, will give a talk and introduction. Suggested donation at the door, with all proceeds benefiting Migrant Justice
