MATTAPOISETT - Two award-winning poets will visit the Mattapoisett Free Public Library for Poetry Month.

Providence poets Karen Donovan and Catherine Imbriglio will read from their poetry at the library Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m.

Donavan’s latest collection of poems is “Monad+Monadnock,” and her book “Planet Parable'' appears in the multi-author volume “Trio.” Donavan has also written “Your Enzymes Are Calling the Ancients,” which won the Lexi Rudnitsky Editor’s Choice Award, and “Fugitive Red,” which won the Juniper Prize.

Donvan is also the author of “Aard-vark to Axolotl,” a collection of tiny stories and essays illustrated with engravings from a vintage Webster’s dictionary. She has new work in the 2022 anthology “Dreaming Awake: New Contemporary Prose Poetry from the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom.” From 1985 to 2005, Donavan co-edited “ ¶: A Magazine of Paragraphs,” a print journal of very short prose.

Imbriglio is the author of two books of poetry, “Parts of the Mass,” which received the Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America, and “Intimacy,” which received the Colorado Prize in Poetry. Her poetry and criticism have appeared in “American Letters & Commentary,” “Contemporary Literature,” “Denver Quarterly,” “Green Mountains Review” and several other works.

A selection of Imbriglio poetry was anthologized in the “Iowa Anthology of New American Poetries.” She is a senior editor in poetry for “Tupelo Quarterly.”

Both poets will have poetry books available for purchase and signing following the reading. Light refreshments will be served. Everyone is invited to attend this event celebrating April as Poetry Month. The event is sponsored by the Mattapoisett Library Trust.
