Poetry in Motion: Bridging the Gap
Now through November 7
Teens in grades 7 – 12 are invited to submit original poetry which will culminate in a two-performance poetry event in March 2011 centered on the theme of examining and understanding differences and the ways to bring them together. Topics can focus on age, gender, socio-economic, technological, religious, cultural, ethnicity and more. For more information, contact Teen Librarian Susan Lauricella by phone at 203-762-3950 ext. 243 or e-mail teenpoetry@wiltonlibrary.org. All submissions must be in by November 7. Program is sponsored by Wilton Library with private funding from generous donors.
