 A reception in honor of Epsom Central School art students will be held at the library on May 11 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The public is invited to view the art display, enjoy refreshments, and mingle with the students. The artwork will be on display from May 8 to June 20.


On Friday, May 8th at 7:00 PM, The Friends of the Epsom Public Library will host “Two (Poetic) Tramps in Mud Time, An Evening of Poetry,” featuring the poets Maren C. Tirabassi of Portsmouth and Neil English of Epsom. The evening will begin with readings of several spring poems by Robert Frost, and Frost-inspired poems by Tirabassi. The remainder of the first half of the program will showcase the poetry of Tirabassi and English.


After a break for refreshments, the featured poets will turn the performance over to the members of the audience for a traditional “open mic” reading. This is the perfect opportunity for you to share that poem you’ve written that’s been languishing on the top of your bedroom dresser for waaay too long, or for you to share a favorite poem written by someone else.


Come prepared to listen to the stories of the poems, come prepared to hear the words sing from the page and come prepared to watch poetic images appear in your mind’s eye. But most of all, come prepared to enjoy an evening of the spoken word.
