Come one and all and bring your friends, partners, and neighbors to a gathering in which favorite poems will be shared. Or you can come and simply listen and enjoy.

The host, Sally Love Saunders, has a passion for poetry and gathering people around to write and read. Today we will simply read and listen. Hope to have you there!
