SUMMARY:World Poetry Salon
DESCRIPTION:Learn about modern poetry with short poems from some of the most celebrated writers of the twentieth century. We’ll listen to or read the poems\, share initial impressions\, and discuss whatever questions or themes emerge. The texts will be provided at the meeting—no homework required! \n\nIn May we’ll feature Ursula K. Le Guin of the U.S. and Tomas Tranströmer of Sweden. \nThis free salon-style series welcomes everyone—whether you’re well-versed in poetry or simply curious. Drop in for one session or all; each 90-minute meetup stands on its own. Prior experience with poetry will be helpful but isn’t required. An interest in innovative techniques\, tolerance for ambiguity\, and appreciation of different points of view will also be helpful. \nEmphasis will be given to poets who bore witness to social upheaval and shaped modern literature with their responses to historical events. We will take a global perspective and include many writers in different languages who have been translated into English. Brief introductions to the poets will be offered\, but no stuffy lectures; we’ll make connections and discoveries together through our sharing of questions and observations. \nHosted by Gary Roberts\, a poet and co-founder of Arts Collaborative Medford\, as part of our literary arts initiative. Bring your coffee\, tea\, or notebook and join us for a relaxed\, open conversation about how poetry can reflect\, resist\, and reimagine the world around us. \nFree

SUMMARY:Greg Miller ft. ‘Morning Bus’: Q+A & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012\, Greg Miller captures children waiting for the morning school bus in his Connecticut community. These everyday moments—ordinary yet profound—become symbols of trust\, innocence\, and the silent anxiety carried by parents across the nation. Through intimate portraits\, Miller reflects on the unsettling reality that each goodbye at the bus stop is tinged with uncertainty. His images\, taken over a decade\, underscore the cyclical nature of violence and the quiet resilience of childhood. Morning Bus is more than a photographic series; it is a deeply personal exploration of love\, loss\, and the fragile line between safety and tragedy in contemporary America. \nThis will be our last bookstore event before we take a little summer break! We hope you can join us.
