AN eVENING OF spoken WORDS
and MUSIC
An Evening of Spoken Words and Music was offered in the past as part of Somers Point's APRIL in PARIS festivities. It partnered with the SJ Poets Collective to present a nationally recognized featured poet, as well as other local poets, for poetry readings, music and a light dessert buffet. Unfortunately this has not been continued since Covid-19.
