Word Fest Book Fair

Celebrating both Troy Night Out and National Poetry Month and kicking off Word Fest, poets from across the region and an array of sub-genres will gather to sign and sell their books at the Tech Valley Center of Gravity (“The Cog”), 30 Third Street in Troy, on Friday, April 26, from 5 pm to 8 pm.

“Most of these poets promote poetry within their communities by teaching and hosting slams, open mics, contests and publications. This event focused on their writing serves as a form of thanks for their leadership,” said Rhonda Rosenheck, the Hudson Valley Writers Guild board member organizing the event at The Cog, where she is also a member.

Poets and spoken word artists scheduled to exhibit include Adonis Richards, Rachel Baum, Nancy Klepsch, Judith Prest, Ellen Rook White, Therese Broderick, James H Duncan, Julie Lomoe, Jackie Craven, Nate Smith, Alan Catlin, Donna Lagone, Annabel Lee, and Pam Clements.
