Voices of Wilmington: A Community Reading Series – July Reading

Join Delaware Poets Inc. at the Wilmington North Branch Library for the July reading of Voices of Wilmington: A Community Reading Series, featuring a new selection of poets leading a seminar on Delaware’s poetic legacy, communities, and history. This month’s reading will be hosted by G-Dash Jones and Little Turtle Who Sees, and emceed by Torrey Francis Malek.

Presented as part of Wilmington Presents: DE250, this open-mic-style poetry gathering celebrates Wilmington’s voices, stories, and creative spirit. Featured poets will share selections from The Delaware Poets Almanac, a semiquincentennial chapbook honoring Delaware poets and the state’s literary history.

Following the featured readings, attendees are invited to take the mic and share poems, reflections, or creative responses connected to Delaware’s people, places, history, and lived experience.

Come to listen, read, reflect, and help create a lasting literary record of Wilmington during Delaware’s 250th commemoration!
