In celebration of National Poetry Month, Talbot County Free Library, Shore Lit, and The Shore Poetry present a special eco-poetry reading on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22. Fifteen poets with personal ties to the Eastern Shore will read original poems related to the themes of place, liminality, and human interaction with the environment. Featured poets include: Lindsay Lusby, Jane Satterfield, Ned Balbo, Christine Spillson, Sarah Brockhaus, Chris Cocca, Catherine Pierce, Summer Smith, Siobhan Jean-Charles, Cassandra Whitaker, Shannon Ryan, Gary Fox, Nancy Mitchell, Tara A. Elliott, and Terin Weinberg. A special issue of The Shore Poetry, featuring poems from the event, will launch on Earth Day at theshorepoetry.org.
The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will follow the reading, giving attendees a chance to engage with the poets and editors and speak to them about their work. Reservations are not required. This program is sponsored in part by funds from the Friends of the Talbot County Free Library, Talbot County Free Library, and by a grant from Talbot Arts, with funds from the Maryland State Arts Council and the governments of Talbot County, Easton, Oxford, and St. Michaels.
About The Shore Poetry: The Shore Poetry is an online poetry publication seeking cutting, strange, and daring work from new and established poets alike. The Shore Poetry publishes poems that explore the worlds of things and ideas, that recognize the liminality, the shifting of everything around us and our ability to name a thing whole—poems that press and push and ache and recede. The journal is published four times a year, once each season.
