SUMMARY:Georgia Center for the Book presents 2021 Route 1 Reads Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Center for the Book presents 2021 Route 1 Reads Poetry Reading\, a virtual poetry reading\, on August 2 at 7 p.m. EDT. Featured guests include Michael Klein\, Kirun Kapur\, Julia Spicher Kasdorf\, Kiki Petrosino\, Adrienne Su\, and Tyree Daye\, with editor Kim Roberts. \nFrom the organizers: \nPoets from Maine to Florida\, featured on the 2021 Route 1 Reads:Poetry list\, participate in a virtual poetry reading. \nTold in ancient caves around campfires\, and recited from bunting-draped\, white marble rostrums\, Poetry is an ancient and evocative form of expression celebrated in every language and culture around the globe. Evolving into different types and genres\, Poetry uses form and interpretation to elicit a response from the reader. Tales of heroism\, songs of heartache\, all have rhyme\, meter\, and other stylistic elements unique to their form of expression. Epic to elegy\, song to Psalm\, Poetry endures and inspires whether written introspectively in a journal\, or slammed on a stage. \n\n\n\n\nThe Poetry selections on the 2021 Route 1 Reads reading list represent the great Poetry traditions from each of our states. History\, homage\, reflection\, and revolution are distilled down to stanzas\, couplets\, lines\, words. \nWhether readers are at home or on the road this summer\, we hope that this list of must-read books will keep everyone turning pages until Labor Day. The full list of featured books is listed here\, in geographical order from North to South: Route1Reads. \nAbout Route 1 Reads \nConnecting the 2\,369 miles of U.S. Route 1 from Ft. Kent\, Maine\, to Key West\, Florida\, the Route 1 Reads initiative is a partnership between 16 affiliate Centers for the Book to promote books that illuminate important aspects of their states or commonwealths for readers travelling this meandering highway. The initiative was launched at the 2015 National Book Festival in Washington\, D.C. \nAbout the Event \nThe East Coast Centers for the Book are pleased to present a poetry reading highlighting each state selection for the 2021 Route 1 Reads list. Poets will participate live on Zoom\, or in pre-recorded readings to be shown at the event. A full list of participating poets will be available soon. Please check back for updates! \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2021-route-1-reads-poetry-reading-tickets-162721116239
