Join Telling Room Ambassadors Amanda Dettman & Rachel Iradukunda for an online community poetry reading!

Featuring young poets Alexa Barstow, Alicia Brillant, Hannah Patterson, Mary McColley, Simona Ickia Ngaullo, and exploring the themes of nationality, culture, and heritage through the The Telling Room’s new poetry anthology, A New Land! The Telling Room will center participants in exploring their past, present, and future in understanding what makes their identities unique: When We Began, Where We Are Now, and Who We Are Becoming.

Poetry Express is a collaborative poetry performance program of the Maine Humanities Council and the Maine State Library that brings poetry and poets to Maine communities.

This event will be streaming on Instagram Live.
