The public is invited to attend the Second Annual Plein Air Poetry Reading and Walk located at Center Trail in Hopkinton, Massachusetts on Sunday, September 18th at 2:00 PM.
Plein Air is a term referring to open air. This reading will happen outdoors, on the Center Trail, and will offer poems inspired by the outdoor sculptures and installations presently on exhibit as part of the second Hopkinton Art on the Trail exhibit, sponsored by Hopkinton’s Upper Charles Trail Committee and the Hopkinton Center for the Arts.
Participants include locally known poets and writers connected with the Hopkinton poetry scene. Polly Brown and Cheryl Perreault, poet members of the Art on the Trail committee, have gathered twelve additional poets, including Betsy Binstock, Bonnie Bishop, Tom Driscoll, Brian Forsythe, Cynthia Franca, Linda Havel, Trisha Knudsen, Peter LaGoy, Michael Porter, Jaclyn Perreault, Janvi Puri, and Meg Tyler.
Having visited the trail and sculptures to begin their poems, the contributing poets will return to the Center Trail on September 18th at 2:00 PM for an opening reception followed by a group poetry walk and reading, in which poets will share their poems near the sculptures that inspired them.
This program is free and open to the public. Parking will be available at the trail site, at the intersection of Main St. and Claflin St., as well as at two lots across the street from the trail.
