POP X
Poets on the Porch will celebrate its tenth year on Thursday, July 12, at 7 p.m.
at the Norway Library.
Poets on the Porch began in 2003 on the tiny porch of the Weary Club as part of
the re-visioned Norway Summer Festival. It featured the Poet Laureate of Maine
along with 12 other poets who read their original, locally grown poetry for about
five minutes each.
The event moved to the Norway Library porch and has become a mainstay of the
Norway Arts Festival.
Normally, POP, as it is affectionately called, takes place outside on the Saturday
of the Arts Festival. This year, being POP X, the reading is being changed to
Thursday evening, July 12, at 7 p.m. and moved indoors at the Norway Library.
Poetry thrives in the Oxford Hills. The continued popularity (pun intended) of
this event proves it.
