SUMMARY:By the People / Exploring Connecticut's History Through Poetry
DESCRIPTION:In this intergenerational event (ages 10+) participants will discover how poetry illuminates both American history and the rich\, layered story of Connecticut. Though an opening presentation and poetry reading by Antoinette Brim-Bell\, Connecticut’s 8th State Poet Laureate\, we’ll explore how poets have chronicled the evolution of interconnected communities\, and how poetry deepens our understanding of the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect nation. A writing workshop and Q&A will conclude the session. This program is part of the national By the People initiative\, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independent. For more information\, contact the library at (203) 797-4505\, or visit Danbury Library – Enriching Lives\, Building Community .
