Hudson Valley Writers Center: Poetry Presentation

This event is free, and open to the public

Members of a very special writing class at The Hudson Valley Writers Center have been refining a collection of poems for a year.
To our delight, they are now launching their individual chap books with selected readings at Blue Door.

Refreshments and lively conversations to follow.
Suggested donation $10
