Chesterville Center Union Meeting House: Second Annual Poetry Readings

By Chesterville Poets

With equal parts optimism and uncertainty, the Chesterville Center Union Meeting House hosted the first Chesterville Poetry Night in October of 2015. The joy and beauty of that evening were commemorated with a volume of poetry and artwork that quickly became a Chesterville best-seller.
The second Chesterville Poetry Night, September 30, 2016, made clear that 2015 was not a mere one-time, anomalous flash of brilliance, but rather just a warm-up act for things to come. As readers will see upon opening this volume, talent apparently suffuses the Chesterville landscape: from Egypt Pond to Crowell Pond, from Chesterville Hill to Zion's Hill, up Route 41 and down the Ridge Road, in Farmington Falls and on Horseshoe Pond - there are artists and poets everywhere.

We hope you will enjoy their works and be inspired to join them!

She is beautiful; smooth skinned and relaxed, open.  We are sitting here tonight; Sandy on her right, myself on the left.  She is flanked by the oldest and the youngest of her four Schell girls.  The flowering branches that I picked for her on a walk yesterday set on the table next to the bed.  The buds, plump and deep pink, continue opening to glowing white.  The flowering boughs and our mother are so much alike tonight.  Nan, her second born, left a
