Salina Spring Poetry Series celebrates 40th anniversary with five poet readings in April (via Salina Journal)

Salina, KS

The 2024 edition of the Salina Spring Poetry Series is also the series 40th anniversary, and this year’s lineup of poets has just been announced.

At 7 p.m. each Tuesday throughout the month of April, Red Fern Booksellers at 106 S. Santa Fe Ave. will be hosting readings from one of the five poets selected by Kansas Poet Laureate Traci Brimhall.

Salina Arts and Humanities, the sponsor of the Salina Spring Poetry Series, said Brimhall curated a broad range of poets and perspectives for the 40th anniversary including those of a spoken word poet, a poet whose work is centered on the body, trauma, and the pharmaceutical industry and even the founder of the Salina Spring Poetry Series.

“Salina Arts and Humanities has been honored to present poetry to Salina over the last 40 years,” said Brad Anderson, executive director of Salina Arts and Humanities. “Over the decades, Salina has been enriched through the diversity of voices that explore our sense of place and reflect the human spirit.”

Brimhall said she is also excited to be able to have a part in celebrating this 40th anniversary of the series.
