SUMMARY:Elizabeth Bishop's Motley Menagerie
DESCRIPTION:Due to February’s extreme cold and snow\, Mapping Worcester in Poetry had to put off the annual birthday celebration at Bishop’s grave in Hope Cemetery for a few weeks. Now\, come join us to hear local poets read her poems about cats\, roosters\, armadillos\, horses\, giant toads\, sandpipers\, dogs\, lions\, loons\, moose\, and more.  \n\n\n\nReaders include Elizabeth Bacon\, Rob Baker\, Lisa Connelly Cook\, Judith Ferrara\, the Rev. Daniel Gregoire\, Kate Gregoire\, John Hodgen\, Ann Lewis\, Evan Plante\, Susan Elizabeth Sweeney\, and of course Bishop herself. Animal costumes\, tiger stripes\, leopard spots\, kitten heels\, pigtails\, cowbells and plush toys are all welcome! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPhoto of Bishop’s cat Minnow\, courtesy of The Art Part blog\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up to read a poem here\, first come\, first served. \n\n\n\nDirections to Bishop’s grave in Hope Cemetery\, 119 Webster Street\,Worcester: Enter the main gate of Hope Cemetery and drive along Curtis Avenue. Take your fourth left onto Beech Avenue (after Elm\, Larch\, and Bush Avenues). Proceed for one short block until you see two trees next to each other on the left side of the road; Bishop’s grave lies behind the first tree (Fig. 7). There is ample space to park close to the gravestone\, and you won’t be able to miss us! \n\n\n\nFor more information\, check out the Mapping Worcester in Poetry webpage\, which includes a downloadable virtual\, driving\, and walking tour that ends at Bishop’s grave.
