About Poetry Reading with Ben Rozonoyer

Join us in our Wayside Gallery for an afternoon of poetry nestled within a beautiful landscape and experience how the past continues to inspire today.

Local poet Ben Rozonoyer will be reading from his new book, The Beaver Pond, a collection of poems that are heavily rooted in a lyrical sense of place, drawing inspiration from the histrories and landscapes of New England, the Midwest, and Ireland.

The collection’s central work, entitled “Ponder Assawompset: A Poem on King Philip’s War,” looks back on a series of events that shaped Massachusetts in the late seventeenth century and woud later inspire Clara Endicott Sears as she explored the history of the Fruitlands Museum landscape.

This event is free and open to all, advanced registration is recommended but not required. Copies of The Beaver Pond will be available for purchase.
