Morrin in Verse

The Morrin In Verse project offers a series of exciting poetry activities for all ages, from workshops and poetry displays to open mic poetry soirées!

Join our poetry workshops to discover new tools and vocabulary, from how to discuss a poem to writing a poem yourself. Come by the library to explore poetry displays of writings by local poets and rotating selections of poetry books from the collection. And share a poem at one of our poetry soirées!
