Upcoming Readings and Events


On April 20, 2011, 7–9 p.m. at Danforth Library of New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire, Martha Carlson-Bradley will lead the first session of the Book Club for Poets, a group designed to give poets the opportunity to get together for informal discussions of classic and contemporary poetry, discussions that will approach the work from a writer's perspective. The group is sponsored by the New Hampshire Writers' Project. The first session will explore the poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Martha Carlson-Bradley will be on the faculty of the Frost Place Conference on Poetry and Teaching, which takes place in Franconia, New Hampshire, June 26-30, 2011. Also teaching at the conference are poet Teresa Carson and poet/conference director Baron Wormser and poet/associate director Dawn Potter. As the Frost Place website notes, "Each summer The Frost Place Conference on Poetry and Teaching brings together hard-working classroom teachers and highly skilled poet/teachers to share their experiences of how poetry is most effectively presented in the classroom--not as a fossilized system of literary tropes but as a living art."

Martha Carlson-Bradley and New Hampshire Poet Laureate Walter E. Butts will be the featured poets reading on June 29 at the New England College MFA residency, 7:30 p.m. More details to be announced.
