Poetry Series

Southworth Planetarium is proud to present an annual series of poetry readings, featuring classic and new works hearkening to the night sky as a source of inspiration. We invite you to join us for poetry, imagery and contemplation of the night sky. All poetry events begin at 7 p.m at the planetarium.

If you would like to read your own work or someone else’s, or if you have questions about these events, contact poetry chair Jane Raeburn at jane@janeraeburn.com, or planetarium manager Edward Gleason at egleason@usm.maine.edu.
