Two exciting Guilford Poetry Guild Events on the 14th & the 17th of March! Join us!

Join us on Thursday March 14th at 6:30pm for the Second Thursday Poetry Series presented by Guilford Poets Guild and then on March 17th from 1:30-3:30pm for an exciting partnership with the Guilford Art League!

Join us on March 14th for an evening celebrating Mark McGuire-Schwartz as he assumes the post of Guilford’s Poet Laureate! McGuire-Schwartz will be our new Poet Laureate as Gordy Whiteman passes the torch in a celebration at the Guilford Public Library on March 14th starting at 6:30pm. Join us to applaud Gordy Whiteman for his remarkable tenure as Guilford Poet Laureate and usher in the talented Mark McGuire-Schwartz to that illustrious post!

Join us on March 17th from 1:30-3:30pm when members of the Guilford Poets Guild will read poetry inspired by Guilford Art League’s paintings in the show. Guilford Art League says “GAL has held ekphrastic poetry readings—poems inspired by other works of art—in the past. They have always been very popular, and we are delighted to ‘collaborate’ with the Guilford Poets Guild again.” This year the theme will be Chasing the Light. Join us for Art & Poetry on Sunday March 17th from 1:30-3:30 at The Guilford Free Library!

Even after all this time
the sun never says to the earth,
“You owe me.
Look what happens with
a love like that,
it lights the whole sky.

—Hafez
