You can read your Favorite Poem at the Franklin Public Library, Saturday, April 18 at 1:30 PM
Come celebrate National Poetry Month at the Franklin Public Library with a Favorite Poem Reading!
Joy Harjo (US Poet Lauriat from 2019 - 2022)
“When I began to listen to poetry, it’s when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to others. And I think, most importantly for all of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else.”
