March 3, 2016 Tara Holdren & Richard Brook

Theme:  Spectacular serves.  [Tennyson anyone?]

 

Featured Poets : Tara Holdren & Richard Book

Ardent fans of each other’s work for over 13 years, River Poets Richard and Tara will read in counterpoint, volleying crisp imagery and meaty substance like the pros at Wimbledon.  At least you won’t have to wear sunscreen and squint for this match-up!  And Tara promises not to make those guttural noises with each serve.  As for Richard, we cannot say.
