A Lyrics & Poetry Festival Finale Event
We wrap up Poetry Month with a whole afternoon of poems and lyrics at our Festival Finale.
Catherine Graham presents her beautiful collection of award-winning poetry, Put Flowers Around Us and Pretend We’re Dead. Poems in this collection circle around profound themes of family, healing, loss, and love, written with a delight in the natural world, a delicate line, and ethereal imagery. Let Graham's words wash over you and relish the peace and meaning that poetry brings to our lives.
Catherine Graham is a poet, novelist and creative writing instructor. She is the author of six acclaimed poetry collections and has been a finalist for numerous awards.
