jubilat/Jones Reading Series
& Poetry Book Group
The jubilat/Jones Reading Series is now in its seventh year of programming, bringing some of the most exciting established and emerging voices in poetry to read in the Pioneer Valley. This fall, the series began hosting a Youth Poetry Swap, geared specifically toward teen writers. These hour-long workshops precede each reading and coincide with the established Community Poetry Swap which brings together local readers and writers to share their own work and poems they love. The spring reading schedule is as follows:
Sunday, February 22, 3:00 pm
Kimiko Hahn & Robyn Schiff
Sunday, March 29, 3:00 pm
Zach Schomberg & Emily Kendal Frey
Sunday, April 26, 3:00 pm
Lucie Brock-Broido & Timothy Donnelly
Following each reading, there will be an informal Q&A session with the poets. The poets' most recent works are available at Amherst Books at 8 Main Street in Amherst; anyone interested is encouraged to participate by reading the books & coming to the discussion. All events are free and open to the public.
For more information call 413-577-1064.
