Poet and musician Dave Morrison will perform his Poetry Rocks program in the library’s Reading Room. Poetry Rocks has been described a “poetry with a soundtrack” and “poems crossing a rope bridge of looped guitar grooves.” This particular program will be honoring the 15th anniversary of the publishing of Sliver (JukeBooks 2008) one of Morrison’s more popular collections.

Hailed as “a hearty weed in the garden of American poetry,” Dave Morrison’s poems have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer’s Almanac, Take Heart, and Poems from Here. Morrison has published seventeen books of poetry including Clubland (poems about rock & roll bars in verse and meter, Fighting Cock Press 2011) and Cancer Poems (JukeBooks 2015). Another Good Day Begins (Soul Finger Press 2022) is his most recent collection. After years of playing in rock bands in Boston and NYC, Morrison now lives on the coast of Maine.

This event will take place in the Reading Room. FMI or for Zoom links, email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov.
