Carriage House Poetry Series in Fanwood

FANWOOD – The Carriage House Poetry Series is pleased to invite the public to a free poetry reading on Tuesday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. to celebrate the conclusion of National Poetry Month. The featured reader will be Edwin Romond of Wind Gap, PA and it will take place in the Kuran Arts Center, (“The Carriage House”) on Watson Road, Fanwood, NJ (on the grounds of Fanwood Borough Hall).

Ed Romond is the author of five books of poetry and has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and from the New Jersey and Pennsylvania State Arts Councils. A publicschool teacher for 32 years in Wisconsin and New Jersey, he now works in the poetry program of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. Ed’s poem, ‘Champion,’ won the 2013 New Jersey Poetry Prize and his book, “Man at the Railing,” won the 2022 Laura Boss Foundation Narrative Poetry Award (published by NYQ books and available via Amazon).

In addition to the reading, there will be a food donation to assist in restocking the food pantry at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Scotch Plains (Fr. Michael Ward, K.H.S., Pastor). Attendees are asked to donate some food items, but this is not required for admission.

Many families in our communities are faced with food insecurities. The pantry is urgently in need of nonperishable items such as cereal, soups, canned vegetables, pasta, rice, canned tuna, canned meats, canned fruits, toothpaste, and cooking oils.

According to Tom Plante andAdele Kenny, co-directors of the Fanwood Arts Council, this will be an event with a dual purpose: to celebrate the conclusion of National Poetry Month and to help feed the hungry in our local communities. They call it “poetry with a social conscience.”

All are welcome to attend and are invited to bring a poem of their own to read in the open reading portion of the program. Food donations may be brought to the Carriage House on the evening of the reading.

For more information, call Adele Kenny at (908) 889-7223; or Tom Plante at (908) 889-5298.
