MATTAPOISETT — Listen to prize-winning regional poets at the Mattapoisett Library on Sunday, Oct. 19 at 2 p.m.

Margot Wizansky will read from her most recent collection, “Random Music in a Small Galaxy.” Her poems explore the transcendent beauty of life even as they confront human mortality. 

Vivian Eyre and Eileen Paccia will also be reading their work. 

Eyre’s most recent collection "Ishmael's Violets,” explores the endangerment of whales with its human, scientific and literary connections. 

A devoted steward of marine life, Eyre draws from her work monitoring whales and sea turtles in her writing and organizes the Poets in Conversation series at the Imago Gallery in Warren, Rhode Island. 

New Bedford Poet Eileen Pacciaworks with the Martha’s Vineyard Poetry Collective. Her narrative and lyrical poems explore the connections between humanity-nature in urban-ocean settings.

Light refreshments will be served and questions will be taken after the reading. This event is free and open to the public. 

The library is located at 7 Barstow Street.
