Glenis Redmond and Friends, Poetry in the Park Reading

Join Glenis Redmond and other local Greenville poets for a free reading from their new Poetry in the Park project. As the Poet Laureate of Greenville, Redmond always seeks ways to tell our city’s stories. As a Poet Laureate Fellow with the Academy of American Poets, this project is one of her civic initiatives. In conjunction with the City of Greenville, she paired thirteen poets with thirteen parks, asking each poet to visit an assigned City park and write a poem inspired by any aspect of that place. What better way than through poets and poetry? Witness our parks through the eyes of these stellar local poets: Gil Allen, Joshua Blankenship, Mandy Blankenship, Ashley Crout, Megan Hannon, James Englehardt, Terri McCord, Reagan Keith, Tinasha LaRayé and Brian Slusher.
