Nature and poetry combine in the Dorris Carlson Reading Garden with a celebration of National Poetry Month and the 150^th anniversary of National Arbor Day.  We invite you to stroll around the garden whenever the library is open and enjoy poetry “leaves”.  We invite original poems from all.

From April 7 until April 30, poems will decorate trees on Broad St. next to the Bausch and Lomb Public Library, and throughout the library garden, next to the Foodlink Community Café https://www.facebook.com/FoodlinkCommunityCafe/.

*To submit a poem to be hung in the garden, see guidelines on back of this flyer

Thursday April 28: Noon-1 pm – All are welcome to join Poetry Oasis  in the Kate Gleason Auditorium where submitted poems and passages from Walt Whitman and poems about trees on Poets Walk will be read. It will be followed by a tour of the reading garden by Master gardener Robert Pacer, rain or shine. Boxed lunches welcome. 

The idea of hanging poems"  came from having seen the announcement for Fairport's “Poet-Tree”
