McNair said, “The primary goal of the Maine Poetry Express is to show that poetry belongs not only to literary specialists but to all of us. This promises to be an evening of poetry as you’ve never heard it before.”
Presenting brief readings from their poetry collections will be McNair, David Moreau from Wayne, and Jeff Thomson, currently a professor of creative writing at the University of Maine Farmington.
Special guest readers Linwood Gilbert, Aimee Goodwin, Pat Jacobs, Shaune Ouellette, Don Prince and Susan Shaw represent a wide cross section of the Turner community. Each will read two poems chosen from anthologies edited by McNair, and explain why they chose them.
Doors open by 6 p.m. with free refreshments and time for visiting. The Turner Public Library provides this program at no cost to the public.
Directions to the Leavitt Institute Building, 98 Matthews Way, are available at www.turnerpubliclibrary.org. For more information, call 207-212 7872.
