To celebrate National Poetry Month,
April 2014, the Raritan Valley Federation of Libraries will publish its second
annual Poetry Month Celebration Anthology. This year’s theme will be "Our
Town," commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the play by Thornton Wilder. This
can be used as an inspiration, but is not a required poem subject. One pair of
tickets per library to the performance of "Our Town" by Thornton
Wilder at the George Street Playhouse will be awarded to the poets who best use
the "Our Town" theme.
Poets whose work is chosen for the Anthology will be invited to read at their
home library’s Poetry Celebration in April. Participating libraries include
Bernards Township, Bernardsville, Dunellen, Middlesex, New Brunswick, and
Raritan. The Celebration Reading at New Brunswick Public Library will take
place Monday, April 28 at 7pm in the Carl T. Valenti Community Room.
