Bethel's Byrd’s Books loves poetry. So, in celebration of St. Valentine, Eros, and iambic pentameter, the popular bookstore will open its doors on Friday, February 15th at 7:00pm for Read a Love Poem Night! The gathering, hopefully joining pro- and armchair poets with enthusiasts of l'esprit d'amour, will invite its guests to share poetry that celebrates Love: love of another, love of the Earth, love of a pet…any love. Just bring to the event a love poem or two by any poet that you would like to share, and read it before those who've gathered together. Or, simply come to listen.
The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments of Literary Teas by Simpson & Vail, a specialty at Byrd's Books, and cookies will be served. Don't be shy. You can save a spot by going to https://conta.cc/2Bj1vCW Byrd's Books, which features a large selection of enticing contemporary poetry on its shelves, 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.
