Philbrick Poetry Project Reading

Fri, Apr 29, 2016 @ 3 pm4:30 pm

18th Annual Philbrick Poetry Project Reading

Join us for an evening with poets Brian Brodeur, Julie Danho O’Connell, and David O’Connell, who will each read from his or her own work, engage with a work from the Athenaeum’s collection, and pay tribute to the late C.D. Wright, a celebrated, award-winning poet and beloved teacher of poetry, who generously served as the distinguished poet judge for the Philbrick Poetry Celebration in 1999. The Philbrick Poetry Project is named for long-time Athenaeum members Charles Philbrick, a noted poet, and his wife Deborah, a mentor to many poets, and fosters the art of poetry in RI and New England.
