Direction to Bloomsburg Town Park: From Bloomsburg Public Library, follow Market Street south approximately one (1) mile, at the very end of Market Street, face eastward and you will see us.

Theme: Bridges  ~ Perhaps it is crossing a stream, bridging a gap, a wormhole in space, or a wrinkle in time.  River Poets are hopeful that the pandemic is coming to an end, and we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Happy 27^th Anniversary River Poets!
