Guilford Poets Guild to share poems inspired by Madison Art Society Exhibit


Poetry night at the Art Show is a combined creative event of the Guilford Poets Guild and the Madison Art Society.  It will occur on Thursday, May 26 in the community room of the Scranton Memorial Library, 801 Boston Post Road, Madison, CT. The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m.  This popular event is held in conjunction with the Madison Art Society's 41st annual juried exhibition.

The poets of the guild write poems inspired by the artworks on display and read them while the audience views the piece of art.  The poems range from humorous to serious and are read with great feeling when presented by their authors.  Artists whose work has been selected by poets have likened the poetry reading to winning an award. 
poem:  Not Counting by Jane Muir
Last year, Betsey Piner's painting "Hanging Out",  of laundry on a clothesline inspired the poem written by Jane Muir entitled " Not Counting".

The public is invited to attend this special evening.
