Fairbanks Arts Association 11th Annual Poetry at the Dredge

Once a year, FAA celebrates National Poetry Month with Poetry at the Dredge. Everyone is invited to the antique gold dredge in Chatanika to hear poetry read aloud. This is great opportunity for trying out new poems, sharing an favorite by another writer during the open mic, or simply coming out to celebrate poetry. This year several noted local poets will be in attendance including Jean Anderson, Joyce Clark, Joe Enzweiler, Susheila Khera and many others. The all outdoor event is sponsored by the Literary Arts Committee of the Fairbanks Arts Association and the Chatanika Dredge Company. As always, this event would not be possible without the generosity of Jane Haigh who annually donates the use of her property for the event. April in Chatanika is chilly, so be sure to pack warm clothes and a blanket to sit on. Take it from us: a picnic is a good idea, especially with a thermos of something warm. Don't miss it!
