“Poetry has an important place in the
lives of Vermonters,” said Kellogg-Hubbard Library Program and Development
Coordinator Rachel Senechal.
“PoemCity collaborates with many organizations, schools, and individuals, to read, hear, write, and discuss poetry, the language of the soul. With the many poems displayed in our downtown windows, it is our goal to make poetry accessible to our community, and to inspire new readers and writers of poetry,” she said.
