Thursday (Tuesday) Night Poetry Series: Tina Cane In-Person
Note: Due to scheduling issues, Night 3 of our Thursday Night Poetry Series will be held on a TUESDAY!
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 3 on Tuesday, May 3 at 7 pm will feature Tina Cane from Rumford, Rhode Island.
