First Saturday Poetry: Lynne Sachs, featured poet
Saturday Nov 5 2022 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Join us on the first Saturday of every month for our Poetry Reading series. Each gathering will include a reading by that month’s Featured Poet, followed by a discussion with the poet.
November’s Featured Poet is Lynne Sachs. She is an experimental filmmaker and poet, whose films and poetry combine to explore family, feminism, form, and process. Her book, Year by Year Poems, contains one poem for each year of her live so far, “filled with longings, misses, joys and mysterious glimpses of a pattern of meaning underneath it all.” (Phillip Lopate).
First Saturday Poetry is curated and presented by award-winning poet Vasiliki Katsarou. Vasiliki is a Geraldine R. Dodge Poet and a regular Teaching Artist at the Hunterdon Art Museum, and is also a filmmaker. For many years, she ran the well-loved poetry-reading series at Panoply Books in Lambertville. Her books, including the full-length poetry collection, Memento Tsunami and the contemporary poetry anthology Dark as a Hazel Eye: Coffee & Chocolate Poems, are featured for sale at the Bookshop.
First Saturday Poetry Readings are free and open to the public.
