About the Poem After Poem
Round Robin Reading Series:
“Every poem different but / Telling the same story.” —Gregory Orr
3 randomly selected poets. Each poet reads poems from their new collection that feel connected to poems from the other 2 poets' collections and talks about those connections that exist.
Poetry is a universal expression of what was,
what is, and what can be.
