Poetry Reading

April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate, the Oxford Public Library will host a poetry reading! Celebrated poets from the Connecticut Poets Society will give a live reading!

Local Poets Nancy Manning, Karen Ciosek, and Bill Moorhead have extensive experience writing and publishing their works of poetry. Their readings will focus on everything from people, to nature, even baseball! Nancy Manning holds an MFA in poetry from Southern Connecticut State University. Her work has appeared in an eclectic mix of publications, most recently Humans of the World, Noctua Review and Unmagnolia. Her poetry collections are entitled Amethyst Garden, The Unspoken of Our Days, and newly released What Glues Us Together; her novel Undertow of Silence won the TAG publishing award. She has given readings throughout New England. An avid reader, she participates in two book clubs and two writing workshops. She also teaches high school English classes.
