Spinning Poetry is a program where we’re invited to hear poets as they read their own works, many of which are old familiar pieces, but many of which have fallen out of fashion or just gotten swallowed by time.

Now: the voices come alive! Held monthly, with Philip Beard as your literary tour guide.
