NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Hoosic River Watershed Association (HooRWA) will host a public poetry share focused on the Hoosic River, its tributaries, and the local watershed.
The event is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 20, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at the Mass MoCA's Research & Development Store.
The poetry share is free and open to the public. Participants are invited to read their original work, or works by others, related to the river and its ecosystem. Registration is requested to assist with planning.
The evening will feature David Crews, a poet from HooRWA's 2023 Music and Poetry Along the River project, who will read excerpts from his published work, "Hoosic River." Proceeds from the sale of his book at the event will benefit HooRWA. Wine and light refreshments will be served.
The session will be facilitated by Arianna Alexsandra Collins, Executive Director of HooRWA. Collins is a naturalist educator and poet who has previously led community poetry shares.
The poetry share is supported by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council.
