From the archives: In October 2017, there was a Favorite Poem Reading at the Senior Center. The listing of poems and readers a few days in advance of that event (which I miss) can be found ->   https://www.franklinmatters.org/2017/10/updated-readers-for-favorite-poem.html

There were 2 events scheduled, only 1 remains - Saturday, April 29, from noon to 3 PM

John Lithgow, Alan Cumming, Malala Yousafzai, Shantell Martin & more will share poems for National Poetry Month on April 26 (virtual)

While this listing of favorite poem readers is of well known folks, there is a spot for you in Franklin's Favorite Poem reading scheduled for Saturday, April 29 from 12 to 3 PM at the Library.  https://www.franklinmatters.org/2023/04/celebrate-national-poetry-month-with-2.html
