A special after-hours evening talk with John Fox, poet and certified poetry therapist. Doors will open at 6:30pm.
Poetry often reveals what you did not know you knew before you wrote or read the poem. This moment of surprising yourself with your own words or of being surprised by the poems of others is at the heart of poetry as epiphany. This experience of creative insight encourages you to recognize in yourself a deeper, more resonant voice that has been discouraged, hidden away, or perhaps is yet to be discovered. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Doors open at 6:30pm.
