Poetry in the Graveyard: An Afternoon of Reflection and Verse

Last Saturday, community members gathered at Evergreen Cemetery for a moving afternoon of poetry, reflection, and shared connection. Surrounded by the quiet beauty and history of the grounds, participants enjoyed readings that explored themes of memory, love, and the passage of time.

The event featured special readings by published poets and classic selections read aloud by Morris Area Public Library staff. Many attendees also shared their own original works, adding heartfelt voices to the day’s celebration of language and life.

Poetry in the Graveyard offered a meaningful space to pause, remember, and connect through the written word continuing a literary tradition that finds beauty and understanding even in moments of stillness.

Did you miss the event? No worries! The library is always here with exciting programs, books, and resources for your family.
