This two-part event will be in person only on Tuesday, June 17 and Wednesday, June 18.

Ms. Dewane will start at the library on June 17 at 6 p.m. with a poetry reading and talk about “Haiku & Hope, an exploration of each state via haiku, both as it is currently, and in an imagined future that confronts the environmental threats it faces, a juxtaposition that the author hopes will spark dialogue.
