I'm posting events throughout Vermont of interest to those interestred in poetry. As much as I can. As much as I can, writing about my own process and perceptions, as it is...

october events, so far

OK, it’s not that there hasn’t been poetry in September in Vermont. I’m bummed that www.poetz.com’s Vermont section had only one listing. You will have missed the great poetry happening in both Burlington and Brattleboro, in each of their respective literary festivals (follow the links). I at least got to attend Major Jackson’s reading in Burlington. More on that later.

This month, poetz has three listings. But here’s more:

Oct 2nd [TONIGHT]: poet Tom Absher gives a special reading from his book, The Paper Rose, at 7:30 in Noble Lounge on the Vermont College campus. This event is open to the public.

David Budbill and others will hold a reading here in Montpelier, above the TW Wood Gallery at the Vermont College Chapel on Sunday, Oct. 7th at 3 pm. It’s a memorial reading in honor of the late Vermont State Poet Laureate, Grace Paley.

Poet and novelist Chris Abani holds a public reading in Johnson at the Vermont Studio Center’s Lecture Hall on Main Street at 8 pm on Monday, Oct 22nd. Reservations suggested, (802) 635.2727. This is FREE.

And the wonderful poet Brian Turner, who read at last year’s Brattleboro Literary Festival returns to Vermont on Oct. 25th for a reading at Kingdom Books.
