Event Details

Drop in for light refreshments, games, giveaways, and on-the-spot typewriter poetry from 5–6 PM. 

Kate Seward, author of the Substack, Poems for Tired People, will craft unique, heartfelt poems for individuals on her vintage typewriter. Follow her on IG at @poemsfortiredpeople

Join our optional poetry circle at 6; share an original piece or simply a poem you love! 

The circle will begin with brief readings from Poetry Street co-hosts Chip Williford, the Suffolk County Poet Laureate, and Maggie Bloomfield, a published, award-winning poet, essayist, playwright, and EMMY-winning lyricist for Sesame Street. 

Giveaways and typewriter poems are first come, first served. Registration encouraged. 

This program is co-sponsored by Cutchogue New Suffolk Free Library and Southold Free Library.
