Poetry Circle: America 250 Poetry Reading and Discussion

Join us for a special Poetry Reading and discussion as we explore the many voices that shape our nation. We’ll share poems such as Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing,” Langston Hughes’s “I, Too,” Maya Angelou’s “America,” Philip Freneau’s “The American Soldier,” Stephen Dunn’s “The Sacred,” and Gregory Djanikian’s “Immigrant Picnic.” We will also honor our Poetry Circle presenters, who have led discussions for over a decade, at this special occasion.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Library.

This program takes place on Thursday, July 9 at 6:30 pm at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch Library.

Registration is requested.
