“Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.”
Langston Hughes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Join us for the worldwide celebration of National Poetry Day with a local focus and help us usher in a new block of poetry-specific programming. The Power of Poetry invites us to come together and celebrate poetry, the beauty of words, and the ability to capture the human experience with a community-driven poetry read-in. Each read-in will present a curated selection of poems, stitched together by a common thematic thread.
For our first iteration, “Verse 1,” we will read from a curated collection of poems inspired by the Saints of Sag Harbor, a semi-permanent window installation depicting creative visionaries from Sag Harbor’s past. The reading will include poems by Nelson Algren, Olivia Ward Bush-Banks, Langston Hughes, Herman Melville, and E.L. Doctorow.
If you are interested in being a reader, please purchase/reserve a ticket first and then fill out the “request to read form” located on your confirmation screen. Our team will follow up with the next steps. If you have any questions, please email info@thechurchsagharbor.org.
