There is nothing like a poem to inspire, heal, and provoke. As Major Jackson says, “a poem advances our humanity in language.” Blue Raven Gallery Poetry Reading Series brings some of the most prominent and distinguished voices in poetry to the central Maine coast. The readings take place in Blue Raven Gallery’s one-of-a-kind space, where poets and audience members are surrounded by a curated collection of some of the country’s best painting, photography, sculpture, and contemporary art.
