A Proud Member of the
SHAWNA FOUNDATION LIBRARY POETRY TOUR
IN Douglas, Milford & Uxbridge
The Shawna Foundation presents The Library Poetry Tour, bringing live poetry readings to the Milford Town Library, the Uxbridge Free Library and Simon Fairfield Public Library in Douglas quarterly throughout 2025. The readings will be hosted by our new Poetry Program Director, Kathy Stoker.
The program is financed in part by the Milford Cultural Council, the Uxbridge Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
The August Readings features Kris Salvi!
Kris Salvi was born in Worcester, Massachusetts and has been in love with the gritty art of filmmaking and poetry ever since. His films and poetry delve deep into the dark heart and soul of the human condition. Salvi grew up in working class neighborhoods and has used his upbringing around seedy and amoral characters to convey his stories of guilt, love, crime, corruption, and despair. Salvi has written a manuscript called “Roses Are Blue,” a compilation of poetry regarding love, violence, and heartbreak. Salvi’s poetry is a unique blend of stream of consciousness and absurdist, bawdy love stories.
The Library Poetry Tour program will hit the Simon Fairfield Public Library in Douglas on Aug. 18; the Milford Town Library on Aug. 20; and the Uxbridge Free Public Library on Aug. 21 – all readings begin at 6 p.m. and all events are free.
The program is financed in part by the Milford Cultural Council, the Uxbridge Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
