Poets @ Large Presents: Pop Up Poets

Well known area poets will be reading selections of their works at two area book stores in December to enhance holiday shopping. Poets will “pop-up” from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14th at TidePool Bookshop.

This event is sponsored by Poets at Large for holiday shoppers to enjoy as they finish off gift lists. Books of the poets will be available for purchase and there will be special offers for shoppers.

Poets will read in 5-minute sets in round-robin fashion. Featured poets at TidePool will include Carol Hobbs, Christopher Reilley, former poet laureate of Dedham, Karen Warinsky, coordinator of Poets at Large, Victor Infante, editor of Worcester Magazine, and Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate Paul Richmond.

Tidepool owner Jo Truesdell said, “We love the idea of the Pop-Up Poets, and are delighted to have them
add to the festivities at TidePool. This will be a way to spark up the day for holiday shoppers, or for anyone who’d like to come in and hear some poetry.”

This event is open to the public and no registration is required.
