The Manchester Community Library: 2021 Poetry Salon

Every year at the Library local Poet Claire North hosts a celebration of poetry with wine, words, and their wordsmiths—both published treasures and original pieces from the audience. This year, we gathered online and raised our glasses virtually to Alice Gilborn of East Dorset, Kiev Rattee of Manchester, and Terry Hauptman, also from Vermont, who read from their published collections. We then heard original poems from members of the audience.
