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 May Month Readings features Jasmin Ramos!
Jasmin Ramos was born and raised in New Bedford. After serving in the Army, she embraced her role as a mother of three while passionately pursuing her love for poetry. Her journey reflects a blend of strength, creativity, and dedication to her craft.
This special event, part of the Shawna Foundation’s mission to uplift diverse voices and foster creative expression in community spaces, will take place Monday, May 19; Wednesday, May 21; and Thursday, May 22 at three different libraries in our region. We welcome everyone to experience the power of the spoken word through Ramos’ evocative, high-octane work.
The Library Poetry Tour program will hit the Simon Fairfield Public Library in Douglas on May 19; the Milford Town Library on May 21; and the Uxbridge Free Public Library on May 22 – all readings begin at 7 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.
