Poetry, literature that evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound, and rhythm. (Howard Nemerov)
Listening to poetry as read by the poet who wrote it is one of the most wonderful ways to experience poetry. Come celebrate both National Women's History Month and National Poetry Month with us as we listen to the voices of our featured women poets along with the fresh voices of other local poets and support this beautiful art form.

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.
