Word of Mouth

In 2012 David Celone couldn’t find a poetry reading group in the Upper Valley area, so he started his own, offering readings both at his then Long River Studios Gallery in Lyme, NH, and WRJ, where Lampscapes owner Ken Blaisdell opened his store to the event. Two of the original poets, Janet Watton and Pam Ahlen, will resume the readings at JAM.
