Join us for a poetry reading featuring members of the community. All are welcome to read their own work, recite a favorite poem, or simply come to listen. Each poet will have a maximum of 10 minutes to read. To sign up to be a reader, please email ctaylor@clamsnet.org. Readers will be selected in the order of sign-up. This reading will be hosted by Claudia Taylor, the Martha’s Vineyard Poet Laureate for 2024-2026. Claudia will introduce the reading with her poetry and a brief discussion about her role as Poet Laureate.
In addition, the winners of the Gordon Goodwin Maritime Poetry Awards will be revealed and read aloud. For more information about the Gordon Goodwin Maritime Poetry Award, please visit oakbluffslibary.org
