About this event

The Town of Amherst is home to a remarkable poetic legacy, from well-known literary figures to lesser-known voices with deep ties to the town.

In this program, Dr. Jonathan Klate will explore the town’s unique poetic heritage and introduce the new Poets’ Memorial Amphitheater planned for Wildwood Cemetery. Along the way, he will share the stories of the poets being honored, read brief selections from their work, and discuss how the amphitheater will serve as a welcoming community space for poetry, music, reflection, and public events.
