Read To Me Some Poem anthology

Read To Me Some Poem celebrates the 20th anniversary of Longfellow Days, a month-long reading series in Brunswick, Maine. The anthology, published by Moon Pie Press, is already in its third printing! With work by 88 poets who have read at Longfellow Days over the past 20 years, this anthology shows the great range of contemporary Maine poetry. I’m happy to have a poem included and to be reading at the launch party, Saturday February 3 at 1 pm at Brunswick’s Unitarian Universalist Church on 1 Middle Street.

The Coursen Readings

I had a wonderful reading with New Hampshire poet Sarah Anderson and Maine poet Jim Thatcher at Brunswick’s Curtis Memorial Library February 11. Four Sunday afternoon Coursen Readings are a highlight of Longfellow Days, a month-long literary celebration. Longfellow studied and taught at Brunswick’s Bowdoin College and the community honors him every February. A fire roared in the fireplace and the audience was engaged and responsive. In a happy coincidence, the poets all included a few poems exploring the environment and its role in our lives. A good time was had by all!
