Joppa Flats Poetry Series
The Arts and the Experience of Nature
Wednesday, June 21 at 7:30 P.M.
Joppa Flats Mass Audubon Center at 1 Plum Island Turnpike Road, Newburyport, Massachusetts
There will be three presenters:
Bill Gette, former Joppa Flats Sanctuary Director, will continue his presentation of stunning slides and haikus he has written to accompany them. He will tell us about his use of haikus in teaching a class on writing poetry.
Susan Richmond teaches in Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm Community Preschool and works in Visitor Services at the sanctuary. She is the author of three previous chapbooks: Birding in Winter, Increase, and Purgatory Chasm, and is poet-in-residence at Old Frog Pond Farm & Studio in Harvard, Mass. She will read primarily from her new book, Before We Were Birds.
David Davis has been the Poet in Residence at Joppa Flats since 2014. He is co-organizer of the Powow River Poets reading series and a Joppa volunteer. He will be reading primarily from his new book of poetry, Joppa Flats.
Bill Gette's first presentation of his marvelous photos and his haikus was a great success! Susan Richmond has read for us twice before in this series, and her poetry—particularly her work with en plein air composition—has been a great audience favorite.
If you are unable to attend this event, Susan Richmond and David Davis will read the following night, Thursday, June 22 at Drumlin Farm at 208 S. Great Road, Lincoln, Mass.
Following these three presentations, there will be an open mic.
