"Death Becomes" Poetry Share with Arianna Collins
"Death Becomes" Poetry Share with Arianna Collins
January 22, 2025 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
"You think I've been buried? No, I have been planted."
Sometimes we all need a place and time to be still, to retreat, to hibernate.
Find examples of your poems to read where you have recognized that without death there could be no rebirth, where you forgave yourself for retreating, where you gave yourself time to regroup, where you believed the long kiss goodnight was the answer until you took another breath, where sleep felt so good until the dream inspired you awake, where you appreciated the darkness because you could see the stars. (And you don't have any of your own, find and read someone else's poetry.)
Come read and listen on Wednesday, January 22, 6:30-8:00pm in the Belding Memorial Library Meeting Room with poet Arianna Alexsandra Collins of Offerings for Community Building. Wine, tea, and treats will be served.
This program is free and open to the public. Please register by contacting Belding Memorial Library at bmlashfield@gmail.com or 413-628-4414.
The Library is located at 344 Main St. in Ashfield, MA.
Sponsored by Belding Memorial Library and Straw Dog Writers Guild
