Friends of Montclair Library

Book spine poem from the Pleasures from the Page blog

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.
– Mark Strand, “Eating Poetry,” Reasons for Moving, 1968

Happy April! April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate, the Montclair Library is hosting a poetry reading and open mic event April 16th.

There will be an open mic from 7-7:30pm. No advance sign-up necessary. Come read your work!

P.S. – At the program, come sit on the new chairs the Friends of Montclair Library funded for the library with money you helped us raise through book sales and donations. Yay!
