Join us on Tuesday, April 29th at the Saco Museum to celebrate National Poetry Month and Earth Month with a special program featuring former Portsmouth Poet Laureate John Perrault. This presentation celebrates the Saco and all rivers that are the life blood of this land – a land under enormous stress due to development, pollution, and a warming climate tipping too close to the edge.

John will read, recite and sing poems and songs—from Wordsworth to Whitman, Dickinson to Dylan, and beyond—plus originals (e.g. “Saco River Song,” “Carbon the Garden,” “Walk by the River”) dedicated to the precious rivers and landscapes—material and spiritual—that water our lives.
