River Poets

Theme: Bob 

We are starting off the year with a bob to BOB. There are dozens – maybe even thousands – of poets named Bob, Robert, Roberts, and/or Roberta. It is now time to marvel at their contributions to poetry and the spoken word. Bring along your favorite poets or writers with ‘bob’ in their names. And learn what links Robert Burns to Bob Dylan.

MC: Linda Dietrichson

Theme: Recovery 

Ty is a student of nature and stories. From an early age his grandfather, a forester, took him toi the woods and showed him the balance and beauty of nature while weaving stories of the plants and people. Ty followed in his footsteps pursuing a career in biology. He has recently finished hi first book of poetry that carries themes of forest, love, and recovery.

MC: Tara Holdren

Theme: DEAD POETS - no seance is needed as we will  not be metaphysically conjuring their spirit. Please join us for a live reading of your favorite dead poets. Costumes and or masks are encouraged.

Susquehanna University’s Slam Poets return for an evening of very alive poetry.

Bring a poem or a poet.
