Aug FloPo Meet-up Schedule
Florence Poets Society's summer meetings:
- Thurs. Aug 14, 2025
- 6:45pm FloPo Drop-in Poetry Share, Lilly Library in Florence Mass. Mingling and poetry updates begin at quarter of the hour. Reading begins at 7pm. All poets welcome (you don't have to be a member of FloPo to attend). Got questions? Please email us at florencepoets@gmail (dot com). While it helps to have about 10 copies to hand out, it's not absolutely necessary. For drop-in meetings all you really need is a love of poetry.
**No August Zoom meet-up (summer hiatus)
IN SEPT we look forward to the LAUNCH PARTY for Silkworm 18. It is scheduled for September 11 and we'll update details shortly but it will be a party and a great opportunity to share poetry.
