Poetry Party with Cake!
April is National Poetry Month, a time to celebrate the joy, expressiveness, and pure delight of poetry.
For thirty days, poems and poets are honored through events held across the country. Established by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month aims to raise the visibility of poetry and make it more accessible to all.
Event Details:
- Thursday, April 3 at 5 pm
- Old Forge Library
- Create a Haiku Collage - all materials provided
- Delicious cake to enjoy!
Haiku is a short Japanese poetry form, typically consisting of three lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third has 5. With its simple structure, haiku is a wonderful starting point for beginners. We'll cut up newspapers and magazines to create new poems.
In partnership with View and their upcoming Book Arts exhibit starting in May, the event will feature a Haiku Box where anyone can submit their own creative poetry.
This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate poetry and to connect with neighbors and friends during the "mud season" and, of course, enjoy some cake!
Please call 315-369-6008 or email oldforge@midyork.org to register for planning purposes.
Walk-ins are also welcome.
