Candlelight Reading Series presents

NATURE POETRY

Recited by Raven Garland, Terry Garland, Freddy Niagara Fonseca

Saturday, March 21, 2009, 8 p.m., Revelations

Nature is probably the most favored subject poets write about.  It’s only rivalled by the subject of Love, which was the theme of last month’s poetry presentation by the Candlelight Reading Series.

This month, the series brings a program of Nature Poetry on Saturday, March 21, 2009, 8:00 p.m. at Revelations, upstairs.  Freddy Niagara Fonseca is joined by Raven and Terry Garland.  They will be reciting a fine selection of lyrical and also thought provoking poems of various cultural backgrounds and literary traditions from all over the world.  Please arrive on time.
