Read your Favorite Poem at the Franklin Public Library, Saturday, April 18

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.”


Favorite Poem Reading hosted by Steve Sherlock 


Choose a favorite published poem that you have long treasured or recently discovered. Share it by reading it to those gathered for this event.
