April 14: An Evening of Poetry with Gregg Orifici – Newmarket Library

Please join  Newmarket Public Library on April 14 at 5:30pm as Gregg Orifici reads from his book:

RATTLE OF THE SUN 

Celebrate Poetry Month with local poet, Gregg Orifici! Gregg is thrilled to return to Newmarket where he lived, worked in global affairs (and got his MFA) at UNH, and maniacally gardened for a decade. He made great use of the lovely library up the hill, dug the crunchy vibe (and chocolate raspberry muffins) at the Big Bean, grooved to great music at the Stone Church, paddled the Lamprey to the Great Bay, and read his first poem at Crackskulls Coffee and Books. Register to attend here.

Gregg Orifici is a poet, memoirist, international educator and garden/landscape designer. His narrative and lyrical portraits of plants and people and place weave together documentary realism, social commentary, satire, and the quiet mystery of the everyday. His experiments with voice, structure and musicality commingle the intimate with the universal. Orifici captures the quiet mystery of the everyday alongside the extraordinary. In addition to Rattle of the Sun, a new book of poetry published by (Decatur Dixon Press (2025), he has published poems and creative nonfiction in Hippocampus, The Brussels Review, Hippocampus, Cactus Heart Press, Red Savina Review, AB Magazine, St. Sebastian Review, Hamilton Stone Review, and others.
