an evening of poetry presented by Monday Nights Theatre Company

Presented by Monday Nights Theater Company (MNTC) and featuring poet Sarah Audsley

Join us for an evening of poetry hosted by poet Amy Beth Sisson and naturalist-garden designer Rose Fairley.

Given the dual existential crises of climate and biodiversity, what can poets and poetry teach us about being human and connecting as members of the natural world? 

Sarah Audsley’s collection Landlocked X (Texas Review Press) emerged from the landscape of Vermont as well as her identity as a trans-racial adoptee and both the flora and seasonality of Vermont are threaded throughout the collection.

In addition to Sarah’s oeuvre, actors from MNTC will perform works by poets such as Franny Choi, Louise Glück, Ross Gay, Amy Beth Sisson, Jacqueline Suskin and other poets that interrogate the complex relationship we have as/with “nature” at this moment in our species history. 

OUR PLACE AS NATURE, IN POEMS is both a celebration of the wild in poetry as well as an acknowledgement of the precarious moment we are all living in. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged along with a $10 donation. Half of money donated will go towards the nascent native plant restoration nursery at the North Branch Nature Center and the other half to MNTC's inaugural season!
