Presented by the City of Somerville and the Somerville Arts Council as part of ArtBeat 2020: CHANCE, July 10th-18th.Somerville is a city of excitement and diversity in many areas, notleast of all in the arts.
As poet laureate of the city, with the help and encouragement of the Somerville Arts Council, Lloyd Schwartz invited 21 of Somerville’s most accomplished and beloved poets to each read a poem of their own and a poem they love by someone else, to show the rest of the world that in Somerville we both care deeply about poetry and are also very good at it. The Poem readings are featured as a Poetry CelebrationPlaylist, a poem to chance upon, for whenever you need it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4T_QGnLf5gsdcI9z-GNXVZJAfAQS_27y
