    "Try It" in Morven's Gardens on Sunday, April 28 at 2:00 p.m.

    April is poetry month and what better place to spend it than at the home of one of America's first female published poets, Annis Boudinot Stockton!

    Join us to enjoy Morven's gardens (weather permitting) while discovering the "magic" of the People & Stories/ Gente y Cuentos method - making connections, transforming lives through literature - one short story at a time!

    Hear a stunning, contemporary short story read aloud by an experienced P&S/GyC Coordinator during this free "Try It" session.

    Talk about it. Change your mind. That's the mantra as we engage in deep conversation among people from all walks of life through reading together in community.

    All are welcome! Space is limited - register today.
