“….When the dove returned to him in the evening,
there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf…”

The Ark is about to dock, and to celebrate our closing weekend, we invite our poetry-loving friends to the fourth installment of The Power Of Poetry, our community-driven poetry read-in. Gathering in the library, we will weave through a curated selection of poems that relate to The Ark as we explore man’s relationship to animals and nature and examine archetypal imagery of the flood, the raven, the dove, and the rainbow. Join us as we fill the gallery with the power of poetry— reading, listening, and reflecting on poetry in real-time.

As a reminder, the poems are curated in advance, and readers are assigned their reading order upon arrival. Poems are not pre-selected, rehearsed, or memorized but are actively engaged with as the reader steps up to the mic. Feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing that this format helps both listeners and readers feel liberated from ego and fully immersed in the poem.

If you are interested in reading, please purchase/reserve a ticket first.
After check out, there will be a link to the
“Request to Read” form on your confirmation screen.
If you have any questions, please email kristen@thechurchsagharbor.org

For those who have missed our previous ”verses,” this is a recurring program that brings us together to celebrate poetry, the beauty of words, and the power of capturing the human experience through a community-driven poetry read-in. Each “verse” features a curated selection of poetry tied together by a common theme. Previous verses include: Verse 1 – The Sag Harbor Saints, Verse 2 – An Ode to Some Odes, and Verse 3 – I’m with the Banned.
