Third Thursday Poetry Reading

Four local poets will read their work on various themes, and a reception will follow the reading with a chance to meet the poets, including Judith Bowles, Jona Colson, Kristin Ferragut, and NaBeela Washington.

Bowles earned her MFA at American University where she taught creative writing. Colson’s first poetry collection, Said Through Glass, won the 2018 Jean Feldman Poetry Prize from the Washington Writers’ Publishing House. Ferragut’s poetry has been published in several journals, and she is a regular contributor at open mic poetry nights. Washington is pursuing a master’s degree in creative writing and poetry at Southern New Hampshire University.
