Join us for a seasonal wine and poetry event conducted by award-winning poet and teacher (and MAC Poetry Coordinator) Linda Carney-Goodrich and local wine importer Migen Hasanaj of Carpe Vinum of Jamaica Plain, MA.

Five seasonal poems will be read by five guest readers and complemented by five wines, all listed below. Linda and the featured readers will lead a discussion of the poems and provide writing prompts for participants to try their hand at writing their own poems; and Migen will share tasting notes, the story of each wine, and why it was chosen for each poem. There will be raffle held at the end for one bottle of each wine. Light snacks will be served.
