Somerville Poet Laureate Lloyd Schwartz.

Whether you had a PhD in poetry or have just started reading it, you’re invited to share a favorite poem at the Poems We Love event on Wednesday, April 17. Join Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, Somerville Poet Laureate Lloyd Schwartz, and the Somerville Arts Council from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave., to listen to fellow Somervillians read their favorite poems and song lyrics and to read yours, if you’d like. Light refreshments will be served. Please note that this is an event for sharing other’s work, not for poets to share their own work. For more information, please contact Gregory Jenkins at 617-625-6600 ext. 2997 or gjenkins@somervillema.gov.
