Brunswick will again celebrate Poem in Your Pocket day this year on April 29 after taking 2020 off due to the COVID-19 crisis.
The tradition, which will look significantly different in light of the pandemic, started locally in 2012. While also a national event, this year will mark Brunswick’s ninth Poem in Your Pocket day.
According to organizer and Brunswick local Kathy Koerber, the goal of the tradition has always been to build community through the voice of poetry.
