New Canaan Poets, Students to Read at Library Wednesday
|
More than 100 New Canaan High School students came to a poetry reading last year when Spoken Word poet Sarah Kay (see video below) came to town, English Department Chairperson Heidi D’Acosta says—a sure sign of the form’s popularity here. At New Canaan Library Wednesday night, high school students will join members of the only known poetry group in town in an event that’s open to the public and led by the group’s director, a published poet who lives here. “Celebrate National Poetry Month With Us” will kick off at 7 p.m. Wednesday, and will be moderated by Gwen North Reiss. It will include readings, discussion and a reception. Register here.
