Registration


Registration is closed

Continuing a popular previous course, this offers an opportunity to hear six Belfast poets reading their work. Also audiences will hear and discuss presentations by two teachers on six topics in poetry:

  • What is Poetry? 
  • Poetry in Response to Nature
  • The Mystery of Poetry
  • Poetry as Memory
  • The Sociology of Poetry
  • Poetry in Response to Love and Death.

Non-poets are welcome as well as poets. Discovery is the theme of a course that we will try to make enjoyable for all.

Land Acknowledgement

We want to respectfully acknowledge and honor the Wabanaki Confederacy—specifically the Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations—who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We recognize that we are on their ancestral, traditional, and unceded homelands. We affirm their inherent tribal sovereignty, pay respect to elders past and present, and commit to the ongoing work of truth-telling and decolonization in Maine and beyond.
