Salon
A RiverArts Salon is a (virtual) place to learn something new, share ideas, explore interesting topics, see and be seen, and have fun.
Tuesdays from 5 - 5:45, on Zoom
Acclaimed local poet Robert Earl Price joined us to read & answer questions about two poems of resistance from his book Blood Flow. These poems were sparked by local (Chester River) events.
Price encouraged the group to talk how the poems make the reader/listener feel, rather than try to extract a deep philosophical discussion.
