MEN'S POETRY NIGHT
In a time like no other, in a small town with busy people and plentiful nature, in a most unusual way - men arrived at the closed Assembly Hall up on Miner's Hill Road at 7pm on Thursday night, once each month. Word soon spread: c'mon up and bring a poem and see if you like it!
Now, four years later the Men's Poetry Night has seen men clawing for the microphone to read their poems. The younger men, home for the summer from college, join in the drama of learning to slow-er-down and breathe deeply, articulate words and phrases to bring life to their fresh ruminations. What comes out of their minds and hearts is quirky, provoking and downright self-styled but what the men discover is community they never had prior to this time like none other: the 2020 covid19 pandemic.
Read slowly. Yes, the men of this town are writing but there's more time than ever to fish, hunt and enjoy being kicked out of the house once in awhile.
Here are some of the poems read at The Men's Poetry Night. $5.99 at the kindle store. Fiction.
