Join us for the celebration of our Third Anniversary of Poetry Nashua on Tuesday, October 6, at 6:00 PM at the Nashua Public Library, lower level and to experience the poems of January Gill O’Neal as our Featured Poet.

Following Jan’s reading, we will enjoy open mic readings, so do not hesitate to bring a poem or two.

We will also celebrate the Third Anniversary of the launch of Poetry Nashua with commemorative gifts, a free raffle, and a variety of delectable nibbles.

Everyone is welcome to share this evening of festive poetry and camaraderie.
