Ellen Story Poetry Reading & Book Signing

Date: Saturday, August 23rd, 2025
​Time: 4:30PM
Location: Francine Kelly Gallery at Featherstone Center for the Arts
Fee: Free

Join us for a poetry reading with Ellen Story, who will read from her debut book Corner Pocket: Poems. 

Poignant, witty, funny, Ellen Story's deeply personal poems in this debut collection warmly blend family bonds, emotional growth, aging, Black heritage, as well as other light-hearted riffs. Family photographs, written memorabilia and references to jazz standards (Ellen's musical muse) illuminate the entire collection.

​Reception to follow with books for sale and music by jazz pianist Adele Dreyer.
