April 23 Coffee House at Asnuntuck Community College will feature
Poetry and Music

Enfield, CT --Students from Asnuntuck Professor Edwina Trentham’s poetry class, “Poetry and Politics: Writing to Make Change,” will read their poetry, and students from Judy Simonds’ guitar class will play music, at a coffee house at Asnuntuck Community College, 170 Elm Street, in Enfield, on Monday, April 23, 2007. The reading is entitled Stumble Then Rise and begins at 8.00 pm in the Coffee House in Cafeteria II. 

During the past semester, poetry students in the class have been reading and writing poetry in passionate response to suffering, injustice, and inequality in the world, both in public and private life. Listeners on Monday, April 23, will have a chance to hear the results—a rich variety of voices and topics. The following students will be reading their poems: Corey Aretz, Mike Ciervo, Kyle Falkowski, Lauren Fisk, Vivianne Grabinski, Rebecca Gutierrez, Lynn Hoffman, Lisa Mangini, Marie Savelli, Paige Steinert, Rico Steinert, Christina Stevens, and Elizabeth Szewczyk.

A music and poetry open mic will follow the reading, which is sponsored by Asnuntuck's poetry magazine, Freshwater. The reading is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served and copies of the magazine will be on sale.  For more information contact Edwina Trentham at 860-253-3103 or etrentham@acc.commnet.edu.
