True beauty is never fleeting, which is why poetry
demands thoughtful reading - as well as the gift of
time.[i]
On Saturday,
September 21 at 1 pm the Massanutten Regional Library’s Main Branch is offering
a public program featuring Sofia Starnes, the current Poet Laureate of
Virginia. Virginians and the
Commonwealth, one of a few states to so honor poets, have a long history of
providing encouragement, community, and support for poets and for those who
enjoy reading poetry. The umbrella for
local poets and poetry readers is the Poetry Society of Virginia, established
in 1923 and in its 90th year.
