Amesbury Public Library fall poetry series opens on Tuesday, September 26th ,6:00- 7:30 PM, with local poet and poetry organizer Toni Treadway. Toni has been a member of the Powow River Poets of Newburyport for about fourteen years. She is co-organizer of their reading series at the Newburyport Library since 2015. In poetry she searches for music in nature and to understand odd struggles with odd friends. A handful are online in The Flea and The Poetry Porch: the Wild Men Wild Women edition. At the library she will read a new poem, "Sachem's Island", which is a story set in an earlier time in a great salt marsh. She restores old movie film for museums and archives and sings in the Newburyport Choral Society. Toni is a regular reader at the Whittier Home's Tapestry of Voices poetry event held each August. The library hosts a monthly poetry series with an open mic. Each month there is a featured poet followed by a discussion, an open mic and light refreshments. Lainie Senechal, Amesbury Poet Laureate, hosts this event. 149 Main St., Amesbury. Free and open to the public.
