May Poetry Gathering: Come and Share

Event Date: 
May 5 2015 - 6:00pm

The next gathering of the LaSalle Public Library poetry group will be on Tuesday, May 5th,

at 6:00 p.m. Poets of all ages will meet and read their poetry or favorite poems by other writers. The event is sponsored by the library and will be hosted by Marydale Stewart. The May gathering will be held upstairs in the Library’s Study Room. 

Participants sign up at the beginning of the program for three reading turns.  Each turn is limited to five minutes.

The poetry program is called a “gathering,” a term borrowed from the cowboy poetry tradition, instead of a “slam.”  Originally, poetry slams were competitions, with the audience proclaiming winners.
