About Poetry at Fruitlands

Join the New England Poetry Club at Fruitlands Museum for monthly poetry readings this winter. Sponsoring poetry in New England since 1915, the New England Poetry Club presents readings by poets with ties to the New England states and annual poetry contests. Members of the NEPC benefit from being part of a community of poets, gathering for readings by members with new books, and participating in monthly writing workshops.
