Lisa Starr, Rhode Island Poet Laureate and The Writers’ Circle have teamed up to bring poetry programs to communities around the state. These free programs will reach out to the underserved in homeless shelters, schools, rehabilitation hospitals, community centers, retirement and nursing homes and the veterans’ hospital. Volunteer poets will read their original works and engage the audience in writing and reading poetry. Poets may audition for the tour by bringing 3-5 minutes of material to read aloud. Auditions are open to all RI residents who wish to make a difference.
