Solo/Duet Series Returns!                                             Tuesdays in April at 6:00 PM

In celebration of National Poetry Month and thanks to the collaborative efforts of Jonathan Blake and generosity of the West Brookfield  Cultural Council, a local agency with support from the Massachusetts  Cultural Council, the Library once again hosts “Solo/Duet” with area poetry and jazz artists.  Each evening will begin with one poet reading, then a set of jazz music and then a second poet reading.  Music will be a mix of original compositions and from the standard book of jazz.   Poets will read from their original work.
