Thursday Night Poetry Series: David Dragone In-Person
In celebration of National Poetry Month, we will be hosting a special Thursday Night Poetry Series featuring voices in poetry from across Rhode Island. Each night will spotlight a different Rhode Island poet and give the audience an opportunity to be immersed in their poetry. Each reading will then be followed by a Q&A session with the poet so audience members can ask questions about their process, poetry, and inspirations.
Night 2 on Thursday, April 14 at 7 pm will feature David Dragone from Middletown, Rhode Island.
