Bethel's Byrd's Books closes annual spring poetry series on May 19

If you're as mad about poetry as is Alice Hutchinson, owner of Bethel's popular Byrd's Books, then a visit to the shop for Volume III and last of its 2nd annual Spring Poetry Series is a must. On Sunday afternoon, May 19th, 2:00pm to 4:00pm, a line-up of  award winners will be reading selections of their works, with a round-robin of poetry shared at the very end. Participating poets will include Newbery Honor winner Gail Carson Levine, Jen Sage-Robison, Donna Marie Merritt, Tony Abbott, Catherine D’Andrea and Sydney Eddison.

The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and the poet’s books will be available for sale (when available). To save a seat, visit https://conta.cc/2YigxBP  Byrd's Books is located at 178 Greenwood Avenue, adjacent to The Toy Room and the nearby landmarked Opera House, across the street from the Bethel Public Library.
