Poet Wes McNair

August 27, 2019

Courage to Create: “Mending Broken Things”

Thursday, September 19 at the Library Arts Center, 7:00 PM

Taking a cue from his memoir, The Words I Chose, Wes McNair will give a combined poetry reading and talk titled “Mending Broken Things.” In his memoir he says, “I am a poet who has been shaped from the start by the threat of things dear to me coming apart.” He will show how he has addressed this threat in poems that attempt to repair and restore the broken world.

Free — No Registration Necessary

For More information call 863-3430

This program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities.
