Poetry in Fremont

In April our minds turn to poetry. This coming Saturday, April 2, the Washington Poets Association and The Seattle Public Library will bring three wonderful poets to read at the Fremont Branch Library: Joan Swift, Dennis Caswell, and Peter Pereira…

Here are their thoughts as April approaches.

Joan Swift says of poetry: At night, while trying to go to sleep, I tend to have half lines float around in my consciousness ….but they always need more work by daylight.

Dennis Caswell’s hero is Emily Dickinson: Just about everything makes me think of poetry. Sometimes I feel like a literary hobo who never knows where his next poem is coming from.

From Peter Pereira we learn: Being a gardener, I am reminded on a daily basis about the beauty and resilience of nature, and how poetry, like Spring, is inevitable.

Please join us to meet these three fine poets and hear them read at the Fremont Branch Library on Saturday, April 2, 2 to 3 p.m. Light refreshments will follow the reading.
