SUMMARY:Poetry about Coping With Grief
DESCRIPTION:Seven poets from several different towns in Central Vermont–who have been meeting together and discussing and writing poems about loss and grief for the past two years–will give a poetry reading of some of the poems about that topic that they have written in that time. The group published a book last year titled “Talking to Grief\,” which includes many of their poems. Copies of that book will be available as part of their April 17th reading. The poets will read their poems to the public on Friday evening\, 4/17/26\, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in the lower level of the Unitarian Church of Montpelier\, at 130 Main Street\, across from the Kellogg Hubbard Library. There is no cost to this event. The program is open to all ages. \n  \nContact: 802-431-3077 – Marjorie
