The Favorite Poem Project in Rensselaerville has often drawn more than 50 readers (including adults and children of all ages), and poems have ranged from the hilarious to the somber, from poems by children’s poet Shel Silverstein, to selections from Tennyson and Keats, to poems by 20th & 21st century poets Billy Collins, Lucille Clifton, Tracy K. Smith, Mary Oliver, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Claudia Rankine among many, many others, to song lyrics (often performed), as well as original poems written and performed by local poets.
Feel free to bring your favorite poems, your original creations, or musical pieces ( songs are poems, too!).
