Join us for an evening of Poetry and the Spoken Word. Signups for participation begin at 6:30pm; Open Mic begins at 7pm with the featured poet to follow. The featured poet for May is Meg Jaye. Meg is an eclectic writer whose literary journey has been deeply influenced by her diverse experiences living between New England and Virginia. Originally from Chicopee, Massachusetts, Meg earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Westfield State and has devoted her professional career of nearly two decades to inspiring the next generation of curious minds. Her first published books were children’s literature, including Melody’s Moodies, Yuri’s Worries, Billie’s Bullies, and The Not So Magic Word. These engaging stories entertain and tackle challenges relatable to young audiences and families alike. She admitted that she never expected to get into children’s literature, but many students, family members, and friends encouraged her to share her stories with the world.  In 2023, she reached a new milestone with the release of her debut poetry collection, Love Pulses: Stories of Small Idols, where her reflective verses explore the nuanced relationships and small moments that shape our lives. Currently, Meg is working on several writing projects, including her second poetry collection, her fifth children’s book, and her debut novel.   This program is free and open to ages 14 and older.  This program is supported by the Chicopee Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the MA Cultural council, a state agency. https://chicopeepubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/poetry-and-the-spoken-word-2/
