Poetry Bash & Brunch

November 4, 2026

Event Dates

April 11, 2026

Please join us on Saturday, April 11, at 10:00 here at the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library for National Poetry Month and get back in touch with your inner poet. The former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins once wrote: "All babies are born with a knowledge of poetry because the lub-dub of the mother's heart is in iambic meter." Bring a poem to read that you have written, share a favorite poem by another author, or just hunker down and listen. Inaugurated in April 1996, National Poetry Month brings together publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools, and poets around the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Be part of the celebration! Light brunch refreshments will be served courtesy of the Graves Snack Team. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is located at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport. For further information, please call 207-967-2778 or visit our website at www.graveslibrary.org. Parking is available on Maine Street and at the Village Fire Station (North Street).
