“Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow!”

— until everything / was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow! (“The Fish”)

In our annual fall reading at Elizabeth Bishop’s grave in Hope Cemetery, we’ll celebrate the full spectrum of colors in her poems, including the rainbows that frequently appear. Isn’t it time for us all to experience a little bit of joy?

If you’d like to be a reader, contact Beth at ssweeney@holycross.edu. Children are welcome, rainbow flags are encouraged, and we invite readers to wear a shirt, sock, or ribbon matching the color of their poems!

Directions: Enter the cemetery’s main gate and drive along Curtis Avenue. Take your fourth left onto Beech Avenue (after Elm, Larch, and Bush Avenues). Proceed for one short block and look for the rainbow flag. There will be ample space to park.
