SACKETS HARBOR â Poetry will take center stage in this village on May 22 when Hay Memorial Library hosts the Great Lakes Poetry Gathering.
It is an all-day regional poetry program with maritime character and covering historic, geographic and natural themes of the Great Lakes.
Organizers are hosting the event as a blend â a live virtual session in the morning upstairs at the library, 105 S. Broad St., followed by socially distanced workshops and readings in the afternoon at the Union Hotel in the village and (weather permitting) readings outside in the waterfront gazebo.
The online morning workshop and reading, from 10 a.m. to noon, will feature poet Cindy Hunter Morgan, author of âHarborless,â published by Wayne State University Press. âHarborlessâ won the 2017 Moveen Prize in Poetry and was a 2018 Michigan Notable Book.
