The lineup for the Poetry in the Park 2023 season is confirmed. The season is dedicated to the memory of our dear Edmond Chibeau. In addition to the regularly scheduled readings, we are organizing a memorial and celebration of Curbstonistas who have passed away over the last few years. Look for an announcement in the coming month. Readings take place every fourth Thursday from June through September, beginning at 6:30 p.m. (except the September reading, which starts at 6 p.m.) The readings are free, and open to the public. Bring a lawn chair or blanket -- open mics to follow.

July 27, 2023: Antoinette Brim-Bell and Alison Meyers
August 24, 2023: John Surowiecki and José B. González
September 28, 2023: Bessy Reyna and Jim Finnegan
