Medford Arts Center preparing for another season of poetry

The Medford Arts Center will host three poetry evenings during the fall of 2014.

On Wednesday, Nov. 5, Lisa Sewell will be featured reader. She will present some of her poems after a half-hour mini poetry workshop. As always, there will be an open mic and refreshments will be served.
