Echoes Through the Stacks

For five years, eve burton has hosted Poetry Evenings at Quince Orchard Libraryin Gaithersburg, MD, where she works as a librarian, encouraging participants to read, write, and enjoy poetry together. Writing in different forms and styles, on themes as varied as climate change, kindness, pie, and what poets do, our poets have experienced the joy of personal expression and the opportunity to improve their craft in a friendly, supportive environment. Echoes Through the Stacks is a collection of some of our poets’ finest work.
