The winning poets of a statewide contest will read their powerful original works and share the stories behind them, followed by a reception with light refreshments. Massachusetts poets were invited to bring their joy of language and resourceful imagination to reflect on America’s 1776 Independence and create an original poem that acknowledges America’s past while addressing the continuing pursuit of justice, equity, and inclusion for all.
Recordings of the awarded poets’ poems will be broadcast on the West Concord Poetry Phone, located off of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail on Beharrell Street in West Concord, MA, in front of the Brookside Square Apartments.
DATE: Sunday, May 3
TIME: 3 – 4:15 PM
LOCATION: Goodwin Forum, Concord Free Public Library, 129 Main Street, Concord, MA 01742
