Last Saturday was the 10th year in a row that I have run an event called Girl Talk: A Poetry Reading in Celebration of Women’s History Month. Each year I invite more than two dozen multi-talented women poets to each read one poem that’s related to the lives of women. We fill the room with poets, poetry lovers, and friends. We fill the room with sisterhood and poetry. It’s always a joyful afternoon.
Those poets with recent books are invited to put out copies for sale. The library provides volunteers to handle the sales and the money. I ask my readers to volunteer to bring home-baked cookies. (This year I had so many volunteers that I had to ask a few bakers not to bake.) Then following the reading we have a reception with poets and readers invited.
Here are some photos from the afternoon to give you an idea of our day.
