Poems Hoarded and Boarded
Thursday 6 October 2011
6.30pm–7.30pm
Admission free
National Poetry Day celebrated by a group of Huntly writers was to be found on a
windy October night tucked behind bookshelves in the local library. For an outsider
to be part of this gathering was a great pleasure, hearing writers read out their
own poems, some humorous, some poignant and some about the power of nature. This
was a true celebration of the spoken word and of the sharing of thoughts and passions.
As I head south tomorrow, I will remember the words, the music and the friendship
I found and holding so strongly the landscape in my mind not left below me as I
fly off but stored in my memory I will hope to return next year to read my own poem.

Following on from last year's successful National Poetry Day event, the Brander
Library teamed up again with Huntly Writers to present an open poetry reading session
in the library.
Poetry by Huntly Writers was also displayed on boarded-up windows around the town.
